    text
    copied!<p>I have this simple Java Swing test application that show an upper label and under this label a button:</p> <pre><code>package com.techub.exeute; import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Button; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.Font; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.SwingConstants; import org.jdesktop.application.SingleFrameApplication; public class Main extends SingleFrameApplication{ public static void main(String[] args) { Main a = new Main(); a.startup(); } @Override protected void startup() { JFrame frame = new JFrame("FrameDemo"); frame.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(800, 400)); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Hello World !!!", SwingConstants.CENTER); myLabel.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 22)); myLabel.setBackground(Color.RED); myLabel.setOpaque(true); myLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 80)); frame.getContentPane().add(myLabel, BorderLayout.NORTH); Button myButton = new Button("Click Me !!!"); myButton.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(50, 25)); frame.getContentPane().add(myButton, BorderLayout.CENTER); //Display the window. frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true); } } </code></pre> <p>The button is in the <code>BorderLayout.CENTER</code> position. The problem is that this button occupies all available space in the <code>CENTER</code> position also if I have set the Maximum Size property with a Dimension object.</p> <p>What am I wrong? What can I do to create a button having specific dimension?</p>
