Need info about swing layout

Hi guys,

We are developing very complex GUI application using java. Lot of screens are being developed using swing null layout. I want to convert into a proper swing based layout ( like XYLayout comes with JBuilder). As we are planning to use pure swing based GUI, I don't want to use XYLayout. Do u know any place where I can find source for XYLayout-like lay out managers.Or do u know any tool which will convert this null layout to GridbagLayout. B'cos it is vry difficult to develop any screens using GridBagLayout directly. I would really appreciate ur help.

 Hi Maha,

    I dont know whether my suggession is good or not.

    Go to JBuilder's java src directory , and check whether
    they have given the source file for XYLayout.
    If it's not there , it's class ( XYLayout.class )
    should be in one of the jar or zip file. Extract it ,
    decompile it and modify it according to your
    needs.

Have you looked at BoxLayout?
there is a link on http://www.softbear.com/people/larry/javalm.htm which points to a LayoutManager named XyLayout.
Maybe it can do what you want.
