Layout challenge.

[Qunfeng Wang]

It takes me almost one day to construct this form using forms layout.

import com.jgoodies.forms.layout.*;
import com.jgoodies.forms.layout.FormLayout;
import com.jgoodies.forms.builder.PanelBuilder;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class FormLayoutTest {
  public FormLayoutTest() {
  }
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {
 

    FormLayout layout = new FormLayout(
        "pref:grow, 3dlu, pref, 3dlu, pref:grow", // columns
        "pref, 9dlu, pref:grow"); // rows
 
 
    layout.setColumnGroups(new int[][] {{1, 5}});
//    layout.setRowGroups(new int[][] {{4, 6}});
 

    // Obtain a reusable constraints object to place components in the grid.
    CellConstraints cc = new CellConstraints();
    PanelBuilder builder = new PanelBuilder(layout);
    builder.setDefaultDialogBorder();
 
    DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Network");
    DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Default Domain");
    node.add(new DefaultMutableTreeNode("211"));
    node.add(new DefaultMutableTreeNode("249"));
 
    root.add(node);
    JTree tree = new JTree(root);
 
    JList list = new JList(new String[] {"211", "249"});
 
    JLabel label = new JLabel("Domain Name");
    JTextField textField = new JTextField(20);
//    label.setSize(textField.getSize());
 
    builder.add(label, cc.xy(1, 1));
    builder.add(textField, cc.xyw(2, 1, 4));
 
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.add(new JButton(">>"));
 
    JList list1 = new JList(new String[] {"211", "249"});
    JTree tree1 = new JTree(root);
    tree1.setRootVisible(false);
 

    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(list);
    JScrollPane scrollPane1 = new JScrollPane(tree);
    scrollPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.red));
    scrollPane1.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.blue));
    // make the scrollpane the same size. 
    //scrollPane is larger than scrollPane1 by default.
    scrollPane.setPreferredSize(scrollPane1.getPreferredSize());
 

    builder.add(scrollPane, cc.xy(5, 3));
    builder.add(scrollPane1, cc.xy(1, 3));
    builder.add(panel, cc.xy(3, 3));
 
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("FormLayout Test");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(500, 400);
    frame.getContentPane().add(builder.getPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
    JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
    buttonPanel.add(new JButton("OK"));
    buttonPanel.add(new JButton("Cancel"));
    frame.getContentPane().add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
 
    frame.setVisible(true);
 
  }
 
}

Maybe there is an easy way to achieve this. What's important is that I can learn something from your code.It may take you several seconds to finish the work. Please don't heasitate to paste here.
Thanks in advance.

not everyone here has the jgoodies package, so cannot run your program
to see what it is supposed to look like.

perhaps if you provided a link to a screenshot of the GUI, additional people
could offer advice.

Yeah
It's my fault.I will paste a snap shot later.
Thank you any way
