Design of Application (Swing/SWT)

[tripley_1]

Hey,

i've a little problem designing a gui.

i want a style like this (auf jgoodies.com/freeware/forms/images/sea-export-main.png but how is this possible?

the standard layout is a borderlayout... correct?

have anyone some hints to build something like this - i only need the skeleton.

thx

BorderLayout.Center for for the right side. BorderLayout.WEST for the left panel. Left Panel could be three panels on a FlowLayout.
