I’m attempting to create a program that allows the user to click a button to place something in the JPanel and allowing them to move this item around. I have already found a good layout to use to allow the moving components (see this link). However, I’m just curious the best way to create a layout like this? My hope is to have something like this:

layout idea

How can I accomplish this? Would I want to use two JPanel‘s or something else?

    The main panel (or the window content pane) would have to have a BorderLayout as the layout manager.

    Then, the buttons panel would be added to BorderLayout.WEST and the drag panel to BorderLayout.CENTER.

    There is a Visual Guide to swing layout managers.
