Question

I’m getting back into swing after not doing it for a while.
What’s the best way to have fixed sized button stay in the center , bottom of my window?
If I use Borderlayout.south it makes the button too wide. I can’t remember the trick

Answer 1

There are generally two ways to handle this.

• Nesting, I.e. Create a panel with border layout. Create another panel with flow layout to add your button to. Put the second panel in the south of the first panel
• Use a more sophisticated layout such as GridBagLayout or MiG Layout
