There's a tutorial in the JBuilder on-line docs on how to develop with
GridBagLayout. Basically you want to do your initial design in XYLayout.
Make sure to use the "Alignments" and "Sizing" features for all components.
Read more about this in the tutorial. When your done, "Save All" and then
change each panel and component that you need to change to GridBagLayout.
You mght also want to look at the "Nested Panel layouts" tutorial since it
shows how to do complex GUI design without GridBagLayout.
