Hello,
This is a continued post from earlier today as the situation as evolved.
I am trying to make a GUI in
Java (code only) looking like this :

I've started by adding a MainPanel with a BorderLayout
and assigning a JList to the WEST. This seems to be working well.
Next added a Center Panel with 2 columns for mid section to the CENTER of the MainPanel.
Then I added the left panel to the centerPanel which will be my input area.
(one extra row because I might add stuff later, or try to find a way to add a gap spacer to keep it away from bottom of page)
Then I wrote methods to
add my various Panels to this centerPanel_Input.
However, when displayed, there are all sorts of questionable Gaps.
For instance, there's a GIANT gap between Jpanel top and Jpanel midList, but no gap at all between JPanel midList and JPanel bottom??

Any idea why?
lastly,
I have two problems with SetUpManualArea
I can't control the size of the elements, so the JTextFields are blarringly gross sizes,
along with the button as well.
Tried set Min, Max and preferred size.
I also can't seem to control the order despite trying to add them to the right column/row.
For example, inLabelTop at (0,0) appears last like its at (0,2)

Your help is greatly appreciated in these trying times!
