How do a size a JSplitPane to the form?

[Delphi_Programmer]

I created an application with a split pane, and dragged the sides of it to the window border. When I run the application and resize the window, the pane doesn't resize exactly. It reaches a maximum height and then stops growing, leaving a huge gap between the top of the frame window and the top of the pane.

In Delphi you would set the "Align" property to "Client". In C#.Net you set the "Dock" property to "Fill". There is no corresponding property that I could find in either the JPanel or JSplitPane. How is this done in Java?
