About the layout package

The JBCL layout package contains layout manager and constraint classes. When you choose a container from the Component Palette, it has a default layout. If the layout isn't what you want, you can specify another layout as the value of the layout property using the Inspector.

As you add components to the container, JBuilder creates constraints objects to manage their layout constraints, based upon the layout manager of the container.
