Is there any way of removing the Component added to the CENTER of a JPanel with a BorderLayout, without having to reference the Component itself?

A:
Something like this?
BorderLayout layout = panel.getLayout();
panel.remove(layout.getLayoutComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER));

Cool. Had to modify it a bit, but it worked.Used it in this fashion: myPanel.remove(layout.getLayoutComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER);

You're both missing the closing parenthesis for the remove function ;)

Ensure you you call Container.validate() after you change the components to signal layout manager to recalculate the positions of the components being displayed. In your example it would be panel.validate();
