Bapi,
Here is a link about using GridBagLayout: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/gridbag.html
However, if all you want to do is arrange controls as you describe here:

1) next to each other side by side like one one
2) one by one like this
one
one

GridBagLayout is more complex than necessary. In that case, just use GridLayout like this:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test extends Frame
{
    Button one;
    Button two;
    Test()
    {
        super("Test");
        setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));
        one = new Button("One");
        two = new Button("Two");
        add(one);
        add(two);
    }
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        Test theApp = new Test();
        theApp.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we){
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });
        theApp.setSize(320,240);
        theApp.show();
    }
}

This code puts the buttons side-by-side like: one two.
To make them like:
one
two
just change the line from
setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));
to
setLayout(new GridLayout(2,1));
Hope this helps.
