Keith:

I'd use GridBagLayout if you need the buttons to be the same size on all
tabs.  If you just want them to be the same size and are satisfied to
have that size be determined by simple division of number of components
in the container, you could use a GridLayout.  GridBag is the best long
term solution (but it'll come with a learning curve).

Since a buttons preferred size keys off it's text, you might be able to
get away with FlowLayout if you stuck to a monospace font and all the
text was the same length.  If there is no text, you would have to make
sure all your images were the exact same size and use the size of the
image to set the size of the button.
