TableLayout is a layout manager that provides all the power of GridBagLayout, but is simple and easy to use. TableLayout simplies the creation of graphical user interfaces by providing an intuitive and powerful way to specify where components are placed and how they are resized. TableLayout makes it easy to write professional user interfaces quickly and easily.

the sun article explains it in more detail…

The author Steffen Mueller created some webstart downloadable demos for the german JavaMagazin available on his website

TableLayout is a free layout manager than can be used without royalties or license fees.

TableLayout Manager - layout Swing Guis easy as HTML tables

Hi,
I am trying out the TableLayout - I must admit it is pretty good. However, I am dissappointed that I cannot specufy the cell padding/margins, so as to have the component a few pixels away from the cell boundary. If I use LEFT justification, it pushes the component completely to the left of the cell without giving it a few pixels gap between it and the previous cell. Would you be able to modify ths code so as to provide method calls for setting cellpadding or cell margins ?
Thanks
