I try to develop an image browser, where thumbnails of images are put in
rows.
So to use the FlowLayout as the layout for my panel seems to be the right
choice, because it puts components in a new row when one row is full,
depending on the width of the panel. However, when the rows extend the
height of my panel I would like to show a scrollbar on the right of the
panel.

So I thought to put a scrollpane into my panel. But this results in a
different behaviour of my FlowLayout since new rows are not created and a
horizontal scrollbar is created at the bottom.

I would like to have the original behaviour of my FlowLayout kept, and only
have a vertical scrollbar created, when I have to many rows for my panel to
display.

How can I achive this behaviour ?

Thanks
