Vertical Stacking like GTK in Java Swing?

Question

I want to stack JComponents vertically, similar to a JList, but since the amount of items is very low and I want a highly custom interface - I wanted to try a vertically stacked set of components.

Answer 1

You can try using GridBagLayout manager and tweak the GridBagConstraints properties (gridy and gridx attributes) to achieve the needed result.

Answer 2

A vertical BoxLayout should be easiest.

Answer 3

BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS), GridLayout(0, 1), and if really needed GridBagLayout
