Hi all,
maybe it is a silly question, but I've been unable to find the answer.
I created a class that extends JInternalFrame that contains only three
components that I would like to lay out using a GridBagLayout.

Component 1 is a JTextField, component 2 is a JButton, and component 3
is JEditorPane.
After creating the components, and setting the size of the
JInternalFrame-derived object, I tried the following:

Container mainPane = getContentPane();

mainPane.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

GridBagConstraints cons = new GridBagConstraints();

cons.fill=cons.BOTH;

cons.gridx=0;
cons.gridy=0;
cons.gridwidth=8;
cons.gridheight=1;

mainPane.add(theTextField,cons);

cons.gridx=8;
cons.gridwidth=2;

mainPane.add(theJButton,cons);

cons.gridx=0;
cons.gridy=1;
cons.gridwidth=10;
cons.gridheight=10;

mainPane.add(new JScrollPane(theEditorPane),cons);

I expected something like:

Thanks a lot. That solved the thing, although I still don't understand
why the other (bad) method gave a so different result.... I guess I need
to read more about layout managers.
