[RESOLVED] Placing objects.

[Justa Lol]

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

        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?

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);
	}
}
