Java Swing GUI Size under cross-platform

I have a swing gui which has proper JPanel and JDialog size on windows platform with screen size from 13inch to 15inch. What I refer as proper size is that all the components in JPanel and messages at JDialog are properly shown.

However, when running under Ubuntu linux with Genome/Kde desktop, I find the not all components or messages are fully shown and it appears that either width or height is not enough and the GUI interface is cropped

Anybody has ideas of how to fix it?

Call Window.pack() for your JDialog before showing it to make the window just big enough to fit all the components in it. This requires that you are using layout managers.

To have consistent UIs in multiple platforms you have to use LayoutManagers.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html

There are several graphical editors that support creating swing user interfaces using LayoutMaganers. One example is WindowBuilder for Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/
