Unfortunately, many books "cover" layouts, but few books do more than 
simply document the various methods and properties, perhaps giving a 
little bit of you you use them (i.e. showing instantiation, etc.).  Very 
little on strategies, pros/cons, etc.

Vince, you might peruse SunSoft's reference of the AWT, Sybex's 
"Mastering Java 1.1", "Java In a Nutshell" (deluxe edition, b/c it 
contains the entire AWT reference on CD in addition to an AWT layout 
section), and "Core Java", also from SunSoft Press.
