placing components in java

[peyoush_thakur]

hi! can anybody tell me,with a small example, how to place components (buttons, labels, etc) at desired position in java. I m using j2sdk1.4

Firstly upgrade to 1.6.
A Lot of new swing features came in 1.5 and 1.6

Secondly, you can place objects in quite a few different ways.

If you are lazy, you could always install NetBeans and get the drag-n-drop ui builder.
But I wouldnt recommend it.

+1 for netbeans drag-n-drop supports

Though i prefer to do it manually, study the layout managers carefully and u can smoke some air

PS: Upgrade to 1.6 its the latest one.
