[RESOLVED] Placing objects.

ok, i'm tierd of using things such as:

Code:

---

        frame.add(textArea, "North");
        frame.add(textField, "South");
        frame.add(Button, "East");

---

how can i place it where i want my self, instead of north, south, east or west?

ps. i'm not using anything to design my programs, i just use plain codes.

you can set the layout to null and use Component.setLocation. Or if you're using Java6 you can use the GroupLayout from the javax.swing package

i have jdk and jre6u10 if thats what you mean? but can you tell me how exactly to use those?

Code:

---

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Test
{

        public static void main(final String[] args)
        {
                final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setLayout(null);
                final JButton btn = new JButton();
                btn.setLocation(10, 10);
                btn.setSize(100, 20);
                btn.setText("I'm a button");
                btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
                {
                        @Override
                        public void actionPerformed(final ActionEvent e)
                        {
                                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "I'm a message box");

                        }
                });
                frame.add(btn);
                frame.setSize(200, 200);
                frame.setVisible(true);
        }
}
