Layout

I am a beginner in java programming. I want to write a program that has 10 text fields on the left, 10 text field on the right and a "find" button between the text fields on the right and left. Which layout is best for this?
Thank you.

I'm going to move this to the Swing / JFC / AWT forum where you stand the best chance of getting it answered.

The Swing Tutorial chapter on Layout Managers should help you choose

I would use a main panel with a horizontal boxlayout then to that add 3 things:
1) the left panel using a vertical boxlayout and 10 text fields
2) a middle panel with the find button (just about any layout)
3) the right panel using a verical boxlayout and 10 text fields
that should get you going
