java - Set component at center of the page

Question

How can I set a component (say button) at center of the panel?

I used Flowlayout with layout constraint as center, but I am getting button at top-center position of the panel.

Answer 1

This can be achieved using either GridBagLayout as mentioned by AVD¹ or BoxLayout. See this answer for sample code.

Personally I'd use GBL for this because fewer lines of code are required to get the component laid out & on-screen (centered in the parent container).
