if you want to avoid adding the jbcl package, here is one way:

I defined a method setConstraints(...) with standard grid bag values,
which returns a ref to GridBagConstraints. You can always use
convenience methods to shorten the no of parameters

//How to use it.
basePanel.setLayout(gridBagLayout1);
basePanel.add(controlPanel, setConstraints(0, 0, 2, 1, 0.0, 0.0,
GridBagConstraints.CENTER));
basePanel.add(textPanel, setConstraints(0, 1, 1, 1, 1.0, 0.0,
GridBagConstraints.EAST));
.....

  GridBagConstraints setConstraints(int x, int y, int cw, int ch, double
wx, double wy, int anc, int fill, int padx, int pady) {
    GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
    c.gridx = x;   c.gridy = y;
    c.gridheight = ch; c.gridwidth = cw;
    c.weightx = wx; c.weighty = wy;
    c.anchor = anc;
    c.ipadx = padx; c.ipady = pady;
    c.fill = fill;
    return c;
  }

//Example of convenience method
  GridBagConstraints setConstraints(int x, int y, int cw, int ch, double
wx, double wy, int anc) {
    return setConstraints(x, y, cw, ch, wx, wy, anc,
GridBagConstraints.BOTH, 0,0);
  }
