Question

I am developing one java desktop application with a lots of panels with different and same layouts. Now when I want to set to panel new layout I always create new layout. E.G.

JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0, 1));

Is the correct solution to create some LayoutFactory and here create all the layouts that I need and then set to the panels?

Answer 1

1) laying JPanel by new GridLayout(0, 1) should be same as BorderLayout.CENTER or possible by using BoxLayout, in this case you place only one JComponent for whole JPanel

2) easiest way is lay JComponents by Nested Layout where each of Container can have different LayoutManager, same LayoutManager or their combinations

3) by using GridBagLayout or MigLayout is possible (in most of cases) place every JComponents once time for whole container or JPanel
