Re: Layout Managers

["Christopher Fowler" <cfowler@outpostsentinel.com>]

I'm going to tell you what I do.  Maybe others do the same.  I 
JBuilder, I use the null layot.  When I am confident I have everything 
right then I switch to GridBag in the GUI desgin editor.  It will 
somewhat keep things they way they were with null but it will be a 
manager that works on all platfrms.

AttachLayout, HTMLLayout, TableLayout & GridBag.  I'm working on a 
project that is going to be presented in several languages so 
localization is an issue. I've found GridBag to work well but I feel 
it's somewhat cumbersome to utilize.  The XmFormLayout manager is 
relational in nature as opposed to the grid layout concept and it's 
easy to use.  However, it is not very "feature rich", it's older so I 
had to remove all of the deprecated method calls to get it to work with 
Swing. It falls short of my needs. I need a quick and efficient way to 
create resizable screens that support internationalization.  Any 
comments would be appreciated.
