I'm trying to layout a series pairs of labels (JLabel) and text fields
(JTextfield) for a form.

Is there an easy way of doing this and constraining the height of the
textfield to be 1 character height?
Ideally, I could just plunk down a text field and have it be the right
height (with a border would be nice) regardless of its container and layout
style.

I've tried a 2-column grid with labels on the left and textfields on the
right and the textfield gets resized
whenever the grid is resized.  Trying two side-by-side panels with vertical
box layouts doesn't work either.

Putting the textfield on its own JPanel keeps the textfield a constant size
but this seems like overkill.

Is subclassing a JTextfield (or a JPanel with JTextfield) so I don't have
set each one up individually a solution?

I'm using JBuilder Foundation IDE.

Thanks for your suggestions.
