Okay, I am attempting to set up a GUI that looks like this:
I am creating a custom frame, and inside the frame I am building panels to house the components. The button at the bottom is in a panel, the JTextAreas in the middle are in a panel, and the display area at the top is in a panel. I am trying BorderLayout, adding the text areas to the center, but they are squeezed together, leaving blank spaces for east and west. Is there any way to either have the center panel expand (essentially removing east and west) or place the JTextAreas in east and west, but have them close in (removing center)?
Or should I throw out BorderLayout altogether and use something else?
