I see the BoxLayout2, which I previously learned was a bean to support the BoxLayout that Sun failed to turn into a bean. But where is Box? The Box container uses a BoxLayout, but also does nice things (struts and glue), as well as be a good thing for laying certain things out. I could not place a Box on the component palette because Swing does not include it as a bean, and JBCL does not encapsulate it as a bean either! I'm trying to avoid GridLayout and GridBagLayout completely (which means I have to avoid XYLayout as well which you are supposed to convert to GridBagLayout prior to deployment according to the JBuilder's developer's guide), and things like BorderLayout and FlowLayout are essentials. With nested panels, I can do anything with BorderLayout and FlowLayout. But due to resizing considerations, I cannot use FlowLayout (which would wrap things when I size larger) so I need Box. Any ideas? Any Box wrappers, like Box2 or something? Thanks!
