Swing LayoutManager

See layout managers for the basics of layout manager concepts.

1. BoxLayout -- A layout manager that allows multiple components to be laid out either vertically or horizontally.
2. OverlayLayout -- A layout manager to arrange components over the top of each other.
3. SpringLayout -- An advanced layout manager that takes sizes both from the widgets and from the programmer to do its layout. This layout manager is intended for use by gui builders, therefor is probably not the best option for manual programming since it just takes so much work.
