BoxLayout
GridBagLayout
SpringLayout

 

Here are some more layout managers that you can use.

Two recently introduced layout managers are BoxLayout and SpringLayout.

GridBagLayout, is often referred to as "the mother of all layout managers".  It is probably the most complex of all layout managers.  It can do virtually any layout you would like, but not without putting up a good fight.  It takes a long time to learn it, and once you've learnt it, you'll still forget how to use it the next time you need it.

SpringLayout, in particular, is an attempt to create a more flexible layout manager without the difficulties created by trying to use GridBagLayout.
