Aligning Components

I have 4 labels all with corresponding textfields to the right of each label.
I also have 1 label with a textarea next to it.
How can I align the labels? I would still like them all in the center of the form but I want the start of each label to be aligned and the start of each textbox to be aligned.

Here is the code for the gui I currently have:

Code:

public guithing() { c = getContentPane(); c.setLayout(new BoxLayout(getContentPane(), BoxLayout.Y_AXIS)); txtName = new JTextField(10); txtStudentNo = new JTextField(10); txtCourse = new JTextField(10); txtRoomNo = new JTextField(4); paymentsMade = new JTextArea(3, 28); output = new JTextArea(8, 30); JPanel namePanel = new JPanel(); JLabel lblName = new JLabel("Name:"); namePanel.add(lblName); namePanel.add(txtName); getContentPane().add(namePanel); JPanel StudentNoPanel = new JPanel(); JLabel lblStudentNo = new JLabel("Student Number:"); StudentNoPanel.add(lblStudentNo); StudentNoPanel.add(txtStudentNo); getContentPane().add(StudentNoPanel); JPanel coursePanel = new JPanel(); JLabel lblCourse = new JLabel("Course: "); coursePanel.add(lblCourse); coursePanel.add(txtCourse); getContentPane().add(coursePanel); JPanel RoomNoPanel = new JPanel(); JLabel lblRoomNo = new JLabel("Room Number:"); RoomNoPanel.add(lblRoomNo); RoomNoPanel.add(txtRoomNo); getContentPane().add(RoomNoPanel); JPanel paymentsPanel = new JPanel(); JLabel lblPayments = new JLabel("Payments Made: "); paymentsPanel.add(lblPayments); paymentsPanel.add(paymentsMade); getContentPane().add(paymentsPanel); // Add output with scroll bars and operation chooser getContentPane().add(opChooser); JScrollPane outputScroll= new JScrollPane(output, ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED); getContentPane().add(outputScroll); setSize(500,400); show(); }
