Question

I want to display a two column layout in swing, a text label on the left and a button on the right. 80% width to be allocated to label and 20% width to be allocated to the button. Also, the number of rows are dynamic.

I have tried to use multiple layout managers, but none is working correctly. If I use the default layout, the label and the button move onto a single line if the applet is resized.
If I use BorderLayout, the size of button becomes huge.

Code snippet:

    this.contentPanel = new JPanel();
for (String eachParam : paramArrayList) {
        JPanel pane = new JPanel();
        JLabel lbl = new JLabel(eachParam);
        JButton btn = new JButton();
        btn.addActionListener(this);
        btn.setText("Find");
        btn.setName(eachParam);
        pane.add(lbl);
        pane.add(btn);
        this.contentPanel.add(pane);
    }
