Positioning a button in java swing

Question

Hello,

How can I move the button "Apply" in the right of that bottom panel without "absolute layout?

Learn and use the layout managers. And also nest JPanels. The main JPanel should use BorderLayout. A bottom JPanel should be placed into the main JPanel's BorderLayout.PAGE_END location. The bottom JPanel can also use BorderLayout, and then add the button can be added BorderLayout.LINE_END. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Mar 27 '16 at 21:35
@HovercraftFullOfEels Doesn't the default `JPanel` (`JFrame.getContentPane()`) already have a `BorderLayout` by default? — Olivier Grégoire, Mar 27 '16 at 21:40
Thanks! It works with group layout at the second jPanel..first one is border Layout. — Andrei, Mar 27 '16 at 21:58

Specify FlowLayout.RIGHT for the panel holding the button, as shown here and here:

JPanel p = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT));

Then add p to the SOUTH or PAGE_END area of a panel having BorderLayout.
