Has anyone mentioned that you should only
use XYLayout initially when you place
components on your panel, and _then_
switch to a standard Swing layout, such
as the GridBag?

It may be useful to re-read the section in
the JBuilder Help on how to temporarily
use the XYLayout to get your design started.
The section stresses that you should not
use XYLayout in your final design.

It's really in your best interest that
I'm suggesting this.  If you stick with
the XYLayout, your users may well curse you,
and use words you don't want to hear with
regard to your UI design.

Yes, the GridBagLayout is initially difficult
and confusing, but once you master it, and
use the GridBag Assistant which JBuilder offers,
you'll be cruising, producing well-crafted and
admired UIs.
