Using the BoxLayout2 Manager
BoxLayout2 is simply a wrapper for Java Swing BoxLayout. The BoxLayout2 wraps the BoxLayout using the JavaBean specification. This allows JBuilder to use the Inspector to assign a layout manager. BoxLayout2 combines the functionality of FlowLayout and VerticalLayout into one layout manager.
Creating a more lightweight container that uses BoxLayout2, you can achieve some layouts for which the more complex GridBagLayout is often used. BoxLayout2 also can be used as a replacement for GridLayout or BorderLayout. The big difference between this layout manager and the others is that the BoxLayout2 respects each component’s maximum size and x,y alignment.
