Thanks, Rich, that's what I was afraid of.  I guess I'll start
translating into a different layout or create a custom one.

In response to Torsten, here is an example of what WON'T work for
attempting to change a component's XYLayout...

In class MyFrame:

...

void this_componentResized(ComponentEvent e) { // resize event

// get frame's width and height, which were set at invocation time
	int x = this.getWidth(); 
	int y = this.getHeight();

// This is component's scaled width
	i = (int)java.lang.Math.rint(0.75*x);
// This is component's scaled height
	j = (int)java.lang.Math.rint(0.25*y);
// This is component's scaled x placement
	k = (int)java.lang.Math.rint(0.15*x);
// This is component's scaled y placement
	l = (int)java.lang.Math.rint(0.35*x);

// Try to re-set the bounds for the component
	jScrollPane1.setBounds(k, l, i, j);
//DOESN'T WORK

// Try to re-set preferred size
	jScrollPane1.setPreferredSize(i, j);
//DOESN'T WORK, neither did anything else I tried!!
...
}
