How would I use LayoutManager to get a layout like this?

Question

So, I'm totally new to LayoutManager. I've already read about the existing LayoutManager but don't which the best is to get a Layout like this. The different colorboxes represent JPanels.

enter image description here

Which one should I use?

how do you want the panels to behave when the window is resized? — Ray Tayek, Jun 15 '13 at 08:27

You can use FormLayout from JGoodies.

That layout might be achieved using a GroupLayout with two vertical groups and two horizontal groups.

@kleopatra During creation of a ['two column layout'](http://stackoverflow.com/a/16353404/418556) factory method for groups of labels (column 1) and controls (column 2) I realized why people say GL is designed for IDE (i.e. GUI designer) use. After a lot of work I got a result that was satisfying, but attempts to tweak that slightly to include a bottom row of buttons was utterly *unsuccessful.* Having said that. A) My statement is merely a statement of fact. B) The OP *might* be using a GUI designer, in which case it would only take a 'few moments' to create using this J2SE layout. ;) – Andrew Thompson Jun 15 '13 at 10:46

See How to Use GridBagLayout.

Red is displayed at its preferred size.
Blue is filled horizontally
Green is filled vertically
Cyan is filled vertically and horizontally.
