Java Swing (BoxLayout) alignment issues

Question

I am extremely new to Java Swing, and I\'m having quite a bit of issues getting a nice layout going. I have checked out google, and even other answers on this website, but no in

Answer 1

Read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use BoxLayout for the basics of using a BoxLayout as well as a section on alignment issues.

Basically you need to make sure the alignmentX value of all components is set to be left aligned.

Also:

1. Don't use setPreferredSize() to set the size of a component. Each Swing component will determine its own preferred size.
2. Use Java naming conventions. Variable names should NOT start with an upper case character.
