Another Java Question -- How to get same sized 'columns' w/ GridBagLayout -- or any other

[statik213]

How can I have a bunch of Components aligned in 4 columns so that the column 1 and 3 are the same width and column 2 and 4 are the same width? GridBag good for this?

GridBagLayout is probably your best option in the JDK (Not sure about what other behaviour you need, but if you set items in column 1 and 3 to have the same weight x, and items in column 2 and 4 with the same weightx should do the job).

I've been using a free 3rd party LayoutManager called FormLayout from http://www.jgoodies.com which is way nicer to use and provides exactly what you want also.

Cool, will take a look at LayoutManager..
