I have created a form in Swing with 10 components (5 labels and 5 textfields), using Gridbaglayout.
When my screen resolution changes, the separation between the components is not changing. Why?

GridBagLayout uses pixels as the unit of measure. You can use java.awt.Toolkit.getScreenResolution() to get the pixel density and then scale your spacing accordingly. You also might find java.awt.GraphicsConfiguration.getNormalizingTransform() useful; it allows you to work in a coordinate system where 72 units is 1 physical inch.
