Trail: Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing
Lesson: Laying Out Components Within a Container

Laying Out Components Within a Container: Examples (1.1/1.2)

The table that follows lists every 1.1/1.2 example in the Laying Out Components Within a Container lesson, with links to required files and to where each example is discussed.

Note: These examples use the Swing 1.1 API, which is supported by J2SE 1.2 and compatible releases, as well as JDK 1.1 + JFC/Swing 1.1. To see more up-to-date versions of these examples that can be launched using JavaTM Web Start, see the list of 1.4 examples (in the Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing trail).

Examples can run either as an application or as an applet unless noted otherwise. See Getting Started with Swing (in the Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing trail) for details about releases and instructions on compiling and running programs.

You can get the source, image, and other files required for all these examples by downloading the Tutorial Examples bundle (outside of the tutorial), which contains the files in the correct hierarchy. If you download an individual example, take care to have all the necessary files in the proper hierarchy when you compile and run it. For example, many examples expect their image files to be in a directory named images that's in the same directory as the example's class files.
