There are 8 layout managers in the Java library alone, and then there's a bunch of 3rd party products as well. The other day, I tried to use SpringLayout and... well, it ain't working out for me.

Hi! Does anybody know Swing related GUI guidelines - specifically on how to design Swing apps and which components I should use? I'm not looking for an official standard, but pragmatic tips I can use to set a good standard for my projects. I haven't used too much of Swing by myself. Surely clicking a GUI with a GUI designer isn't a big...
