BorderLayout center command won't center

Question

I am trying to place two JButtons next to each other in the center of a JFrame, that won\'t re-size the buttons when the JFrame is re-size

Answer 1

JPanel uses FlowLayout by default, and FlowLayout uses centered alignment by default... This seems easier to me than going to GridBagLayout or even BoxLayout. If you don't want the buttons to 'wrap' when the panel gets too small for them, you could set a minimum size.

package example;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class FlowLO extends JFrame
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        FlowLO flowLO = new FlowLO();
        flowLO.go();
    }
    public void go()
    {
        JPanel centeredPanel = new JPanel();
        centeredPanel.add(new JButton("one"));
        centeredPanel.add(new JButton("two"));
        getContentPane().add(centeredPanel);
        pack();
        setVisible(true);
    }
}
