Please help asap.
Matthew has suggested a good article about Swing layout. For me, I often use FlowLayout, BorderLayout and GridBagLayout. The last one is very flexible layout manager if you are building a complex GUI, and usually we have to combine some layouts together.
You can accomplish a lot by nesting simple layouts (BorderLayout and GridLayout) within each other.
Also, it might just be me, but I find that GridBagLayout is very similar to laying out components on a web page using an HTML table.
