Yes well, i have heard that and have used gridbags and borderlayout in my
final UI designs, but as there is, i believe, no other layout manager
(correct me if i am wrong) that suits my needs.  Which are:
1. Allow the user to place components onto a panel which can be at any
position and have any size
2. This panel can grow, due to a scrollPane so i do not know what size it
will be initially

If you know how i can overcome these not using XY and hence avoid all this
name calling you foretell, i would be very appreciative :)

Thanks
Rudy

Merry Christmas
