Java Swing layouts

This tutorial explains layouts in Java Swing. Swing components layouts are handled with one or more layout managers. We tell the layout managers how we want our components laid out in our containers. We then add the components to our containers and let the layout managers decide the exact placement of the components.

In this video, I demonstrate a few different Swing layout managers. I then demonstrate the power of using nested containers and multiple layout managers. Finally, I show the window builder eclipse plugin which allows us to manually design our layouts with ease.
