When I add the buttons they don�t fit correctly the panel. I have tried many kinds of layout and I didn�t get what I wanted. Some buttons seems bigger than the others.

Answer 1

When I add the buttons they don�t fit correctly the
panel. I have tried many kinds of layout and I didn�t
get what I wanted. Some buttons seems bigger than the
others.Well that happens with the BorderLayout. Possible solution might be using a GridLayout, a FlowLayout and the setPreferredSize(), setMaximumSize(), setMInimumSize() methods, a null layout and the set****Size() methods plus the setAlignmentX() setAlignmentY() methods.
