Hello

What do you think?? Is it a good idea to use JTextField(int columns) constructor or setColumns(int columns)?? I understand setPreferedSize(Dimension preferredSize) is not a good choice but seting columns is something a little bit different.

I prefer to use JTextField(int column) and let the layout manager set the size.


Good luck
