Here is something you can do with box layout.

• Change axis to line axis, Add
• horizontal glue, Add rigid area,
• place the component

. code snippet below:

panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));
panel.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue());
panel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(10, 0)));
panel.add(combo);
frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.NORTH, panel);
