Simple MigLayout Question

**Aerandir** · 12-22-2012, 08:26 PM

I am just starting out with MigLayout and im having some trouble with getting the frame to autosize. I don't really want to define a size by doing something like frame.setSize(500,500) but when I remove this, the frame size is basically nothing and I can't see my application unless I resize the window with my mouse. Here is my basic example code below and a screen capture of what I see when running this.

Java Code:

import javax.swing.*;
import net.miginfocom.swing.MigLayout;

public class GUI2 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		new GUI2().buildGUI();

	}

	public void buildGUI() {

		JFrame frame = new JFrame();
		JPanel panel = new JPanel(new MigLayout());
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
		// frame.setSize(500,500);
		frame.setVisible(true);

		JLabel firstNameLabel = new JLabel("First Name");
		JLabel lastNameLabel = new JLabel("Last Name");
		JLabel addressLabel = new JLabel("Address");

		JTextField firstNameTextField = new JTextField(100);
		JTextField lastNameTextField = new JTextField(100);
		JTextField addressTextField = new JTextField();

		panel.add(firstNameLabel);
		panel.add(firstNameTextField);
		panel.add(lastNameLabel);
		panel.add(lastNameTextField, "wrap");
		panel.add(addressLabel);
		panel.add(addressTextField, "span, grow");

	}

}
