Some points that make java swing layout system a nightmare:

  • There's thousands of properties;
  • Even if you learn all the properties, each layout manager ignores some properties;
  • The only existing good RAD tool (NetBeans) does not work well;
  • Layout managers behave different with components and containers inside it.
