Yes, it does matter, since the constraints are maintained by the 
LayoutManager, not the Component.  The LayoutManager and LayoutManager2 
interfaces do not provide a general way of changing the constraints, 
but GridBagLayout provides the following method:

    public void setConstraints( Component comp,
        GridBagConstraints constraints );
