What is a good way to Organize multiple JPanel's in a JFrame?

问题

What I am trying to do is organize five seperate JPanel's within the frame. Here is what the output is supposed to look like: There will be one panel across the top. Two panels directly below the top panel that vertically split the space and then another two panels that split the remaining space horizontally.

I cannot figure out how to organize the panels like described above and I think it is because I just don't know the proper syntax. So any help or advise is greatly appreciated here is the code I have thus far.

import java.lang.String.*;
import java.lang.Exception.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class Display extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
// instance variables
private static final int FRAME_WIDTH = 400;
private static final int FRAME_HEIGHT = 350;

private static final int FRAME_X_ORIGIN = 150;
private static final int FRAME_Y_ORIGIN = 150;

private static final int BUTTON_WIDTH = 90;
private static final int BUTTON_HEIGHT = 30;

private JButton readFile;
private JButton exit;
private JButton stats;
private JButton blank;

private JCheckBox avgHomeworkScore;
private JCheckBox avgTestScore;

    group.add(buttonFour);

    buttonOne.addActionListener(this);
    buttonTwo.addActionListener(this);
    buttonThree.addActionListener(this);
    buttonFour.addActionListener(this);

    courses = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,1));
    courses.setBackground(Color.blue);
    courses.add(buttonOne);
    courses.add(buttonTwo);
    courses.add(buttonThree);

Use a layout manager. Never set the bounds, sizes and locations of your panels and other components. That's the job of the layout manager. Layout managers are explained in details in the Swing tutorial (as everything else, BTW).

You could use a BorderLayout for the main panel, and another for the bottom panel, for example.
