Range of weightx and weighty

[Praveen Kumar]

Q. what is the valid range for weightx and weighty in gridbaglayout.

This question is posted quite often in Javaranch but each thread did not result in any conclusive answer. Some said the range should be from 0.0 to 1.0, some 0.0 to MAX.DOUBLE. Today I referred Core Java Vol.I and also Deitel & Deitel. They have freely used values like 100, 1000 for weightx and weighty.
I would like input from Ajith. In one of my previous posting to the moderators I had mentioned u all to post at least one answer to the ongoing thread so that it becomes conclusive sort of thing. To which only Ajith replied. I was than also referring to such open ended thread which does not lead to any final answer. So I would once again request u all to post at least one reply to each thread so that the JVM for this should be exited. Why I insist for this that most visitors to javaranch are going thru learning phase of Java and there inputs cannot be just taken as conclusive. U people have attained certain competency level in Java so ur words can be taken as the final.
