Laying Out Components Within a Container
Laying Out Components Within a Container: Examples
The table that follows
lists every example in the Laying Out Components Within a Container lesson,
with links to required files and to where each example is discussed.
The first column of the table has links
to JNLP files
that let you run the examples using
JavaTM Web Start.
NOTE: Release 6.0 is required to run all applets and
Java Web Start examples. Most examples will run on an earlier
release but you must compile and run them locally.
To run an example using Java Web Start,
click the [Launch] link in the first column of the
table.
The first time you run an example,
there will be a delay
while Java Web Start downloads the JAR file
containing the class files for this lesson's examples.
Afterward, the examples should execute more quickly.
Compiling and Running the Examples Locally
The second column in the table below has links to zip files for each
demo that you can open and run in the NetBeans IDE. Refer to
Running Tutorial Examples in NetBeans IDE for more information.
If you download an individual example,
take care to have all the necessary files
in the proper hierarchy when you compile and run it.
All of the examples in the Swing tutorial are placed in
a package. For example, the components examples are placed
in a components package.
See the following image for the complete structure.
Note that any examples using images expect their image files
to be in a directory named images
that is in the same directory as the example's src files.
You can find out which files each example needs by consulting the
following table or by looking at the comments at the beginning of
each source file.

SpringDemo1 and SpringDemo2 are intentionally broken,
and we don't advise running them using Java Web Start.
