For a single column or row, see GridLayout1 & BoxLayout2, as well as JToolBar3 & JList4.

See 'How To Use':

  1. GridLayout
  2. BoxLayout
  3. JToolBar
  4. JList

I was used to creating java GUI with manual coding, I mean not the drag and dropped that auto-generates the codes, so it was a lot easier for me to switch with GUI designer such as Window Builder plugin for Eclipse or the built-in swing designer of NetBeans.

I suggest you to start with the basic of Layout Managers with manual coding. Here's a good link... http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html

Start with the easiest: FlowLayout, GridLayout, and BorderLayout. These layouts are usually applied to JPanel, which is a lower level container (JFrame being the top-level container)
