I was putting together some comparisons of Layout Managers and am a bit
stuck with GridBagLayout. In the example below, if you resize the frame
so it is a bit narrower, the Password JTextField collapses to zero width.

Hi chaps,
I'm developing a MATLAB GUI which uses JTables: I do not want the
columns to be dragged but the code
    mytable.setDragEnabled(false);

I'm looking to develop a JSP application which involves fairly standard data
collection routines.
For example, there will be a client screen that collects forename, surname,
date of birth etc. and writes and reads this data to and from a "Clients"

I have created a ListCellRenderer that extends a JPanel
in this panel I have added a JTextPane and a Button so that each item

Is there an easy way to constrain the execution of all the process
