Hi,
 i have written a GUI in jbuilder.However, when i am running the jar file 
after deployment, the GUI appears different in JDK1.5, compared with what it 
is in JbuilderX.The main difference is the size of some components....would 
you please kindly help me on this?
Thanks

What help are you looking for?  The sizes of GUI elements may vary from
one environment to another.  That is the way of the world.  That is why we
use layout managers to position and size components.  You are using a
layout manager, right?  And not XYLayout, right?

JBX uses JDK 1.4.  Now you are running JDK 1.5.  Did you even look at 
the release notes for JDK 1.5?

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/relnotes.html

On the page above, find "look and feel".  The default look and feel 
changed in JDK 1.5 from Metal to something called Ocean.  The relevent 
paragraph also tells you how to change it back.

Ah, well that's a whole different thing.  JBuilder is hosted on JDK 1.4. 
  You will not get a perfect design emulation for JDK 1.5 until JBuilder 
is hosted on JDK 1.5.

Please reread!! John is saying DO NOT USE XYLayout.. You should be using
GridBagLayout coupled with Nested Panels. XY will always fail you.
