We’ve covered the most commonly used layout managers; with them, you
should be able to create just about any user interface you like. There are
two other layout managers in the javax.swing package, SpringLayout and GroupLayout. They are designed primarily for use
with visual GUI builders but can be handcoded. O’Reilly’s Java
Swing covers these layout managers in detail.
Additionally, there are many useful third-party LayoutManagers, including
MigLayout and JGoodies FormLayout.
