JRE Version 1.7 Update 3
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
As I run the program, it works as expected, everything works smoothly. As when
Seems like there is something wrong with BorderLayout.LINE_END
thingy, only when I place the buttonPanel
on LINE_END
, I am getting undesirable results. I had tried to use only one JButton
, instead of three as the latest measure, to sort out thingies. Now the problem that use to come as shown in this pic :
has been sorted out by changing the position of the JButton
Panel to LINE_START
or using JRE version 1.6 update 31
, in the pic as below :
Here is the code used for this example :
