Hi, Max,

Want to say only one thing about Swing's BoxLayout: NEVER USE IT! I
experimented with both GridBagLayout and BoxLayout for a VERY long time,
and it became obvious to me, that BoxLayout is VERY buggy. That is a
component putten into Box can (and practically very often do) overlap
frame borders. It's much better to spent a little bit more time 4
studying GridBagLayour than wasting time in vain attempts to lay
component out with BoxLayout in the way u DO want. Swing are great
classes except these ones.

DON"T DO THE MISTAKE I DID! USE GRIDBAGLAYOUT!
Thought it could help,
