how to set position for jlist on frame??

i created jlist and i added it to the frame i can change the height and width but i want to change the position of the list on the frame, i mean the x-postion and the y postion.

list_box tx = new list_box(subject);

tx.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 400)); ////list box size
tx.setBackground(Color.yellow);

this.add(tv); // add th list to the frame

I'd suggest using a layout manager to determine both the position and the size of your component.

I was trying to avoid moving this post to the top of the list, but I am now going to say this.
