1. GridBagLayout Versus FormLayout > Downloading and Installing JGoodies FormLayout informit.com

In the previous articles in this series, I introduced you to GridBagLayout’s classes, demonstrated various constraints combinations, and showed how to build practical layouts with GridBagLayout. Because GridBagLayout may not do everything you need, in the way you need to do it, this article compares GridBagLayout to another popular layout manager: JGoodies FormLayout.

2. Harness the Power of Java's GridBagLayout > Introducing GridBagLayout informit.com

GridBagLayout (one of Java’s original layout managers) has a bad reputation among Java developers. According to Ethan Nicholas’ "Reinventing GridBagLayout" blog entry, this layout manager is "ridiculously difficult to use." In a more extreme case, the author of a late 1990s Java book was loosely quoted as hating GridBagLayout. I hope that this series will improve GridBagLayout’s reputation.
