Layout and resize

Question

Although I tried many things, I can't get out of this :
I have a java app. with a jSplitPane. On the right side, I have a JPanel hosting another jPanel with an image background.
What I'd like is that when moving the divider, my inner Panel (the one with the image) doesn't resize. It should be just displayed at the center of the other one.
Now, I used BorderLayout for the 'container' and added the second one like this :
            panel1.add(panel2, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);But when I move the divider, the iner panel extends to the borders (the image is stretched).
I tried FlowLayout, but then nothing at all is displayed (??)
Any idea ?
O, BTW, the inner panel uses a grid bag Layout. Could it have an influence on its container ?

Answer 1

Too many panels you are having. Try none:
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class SplitExample {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
          JLabel left = new JLabel("LEFT");
          URL url = new URL("http://weblogs.java.net/jag/bio/JagHeadshot-small.jpg");
          JLabel right = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(url));
          JSplitPane sp = new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT, left, right);
          JFrame f = new JFrame("SplitExample");
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          f.getContentPane().add(sp);
          f.pack();
          f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          f.setVisible(true);
}
