GUI Layout - HELP!!!! :)

Question

Hi, for some reason, i have created many frames but this particular one displays the title (information) puts a jbutton next to it and then 2 more underneath and 2 more under that. I wanted it sort of list form where title appears at top then 2 next row and 2 next. hpe u get me, the code used is below
public InformationGUI() {
          super("Information");
          Label title = new Label(" INFORMATION", JLabel.CENTER);
          font = new Font("Ariel", Font.BOLD, 20);
          title.setBackground(Color.red);
          title.setFont(font);
          viewinfo= new JButton("view");
          viewinfo.addActionListener(this);
          addinfo = new JButton("add");
          addinfo.addActionListener(this);
          deleteinfo = new JButton("delete");
          deleteinfo.addActionListener(this);
          amendinfo= new JButton("amend");
          amendinfo.addActionListener(this);
          back = new JButton("GO BACK");
          back.addActionListener(this);
          Container contentPane = this.getContentPane();
          contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          this.setBackground(Color.blue);
          contentPane.setLayout(new GridLayout(5,1,5,1));
          contentPane.add(title);
          this.setLayout(new GridLayout(5,2));
          this.add(addinfo);
          this.add(viewinfo);
          this.add(deleteinfo);
          this.add(amendinfo);
          this.add(back);
          this.pack();
          this.setVisible(true);
          ClosingWindow close = new ClosingWindow();
          addWindowListener(close);
     }

Note that the below won't make much sense unless you actually
go through it and read the relevant API documentation.

If I were going to write your code, I'd do it like this:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.AbstractAction;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingConstants;
public class InformationView {
    public static void main(final String[] argv) {
        final JFrame mainFrame = new JFrame();
        new InformationView(mainFrame.getContentPane());
        mainFrame.pack();
        mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        mainFrame.setVisible(true);
    public InformationView(final Container container) {
        // Set background color
        container.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
        // Add title to container
        final JLabel info = new JLabel(" INFORMATION", SwingConstants.CENTER);
        info.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
        info.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 10));
        container.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        container.add(info, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        // Add buttons to container
        final JButton addButton = new JButton(new AddAction());
        final JButton deleteButton = new JButton("Delete");
        final JButton viewButton = new JButton("View");
        final JButton amendButton = new JButton("Amend");
        final JButton backButton = new JButton("Back");
        final JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3, 2));
        buttonPanel.add(addButton);
        buttonPanel.add(deleteButton);
        buttonPanel.add(viewButton);
        buttonPanel.add(amendButton);
        buttonPanel.add(backButton);
        container.add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    public class AddAction extends AbstractAction {
        public AddAction() {
            super("Add");
        public void actionPerformed(final ActionEvent ae) {
            // Add functionality here
}
