Erik:

Well, VerticalFlowLayout would do this and it's a tiny class that you
have the right to redistribute for free, but you don't want to use 3rd
party layouts....

You can do it with GBL, as mentioned (seems like overkill in such a
simple case).  From you pick I see three containers.  A master panel
with BorderLayout set.  A button panel (with verticalflow or gbl) and a
bunch of buttons set in the West of your master panel.  A plain panel
set in the Center of your master panel.
