I have a JFrame with a menu bar and inside the the frame a canvas. When I
click on a menu item

other than leaving it to a Layout Manager. I'm having a lot of difficulty
getting even the simplest design to look nice. Namely, I have a series of
JTextFields each preceded by a JLabel. The layout concept ...

My code was written in jdk1.3
I have used JFrames to create a UI, which used Jpanel, JButton etc.
The UI looks ok when we use jdk1.3 but when we run the same in
j2sdk1.4.1_04 the same UI gets distorted. When we minimise and

I'm having trouble with JSlider and not my manuals neither google
helped me a lot. My goal is a JSlider that, when the slider is
