Firstly upgrade to 1.6.
A Lot of new swing features came in 1.5 and 1.6

Secondly, you can place objects in quite a few different ways.
Read here :*java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ui/features/index.html

If you are lazy, you could always install NetBeans and get the drag-n-drop ui builder.
But I wouldnt recommend it.

+1 for netbeans drag-n-drop supports

Though i prefer to do it manually, study the layout managers carefully and u can smoke some air ;)

PS: Upgrade to 1.6 its the latest one.
