The typical Java layout engine does not make life very easy :-)

Have a look into Foam at http://www.computersinmotion.com There are
some good videos which show its power and ease. 

Foam is the first Java designer to basically do away with the layout
manager! Drop your controls where they need to go, set some spacing or
tell Foam controls are centered or should stay the same size, whatever.


Foam might be just what you are looking for. Check it out!

Cheers,
