don't know the right layout

hey guys, just asking if what layout manager should i do to make this happen.
I am making a simple game and I want to put the red panel into the middle of the yellow panel regardless of the size of the red panel.
I use different combinations of layout managers and techniques that i know but can't seem to work.
hope you guys can help me with this. and advance thanks. :)

If you can do that 'window' like panel, store that panel in another panel with a thick yellow bordered panel (see the BorderFactory class, it can make LineBorders for you).

kind regards,

Hello JosAH, I do not really want to make that panel yellow,i just taught that it would be much understandable if i put some color to it.
Here is the thing, I just want to put the red one in the middle of the other one which is the yellow panel regardless of the size or dimension of the yellow panel.
So when you resize the yellow panel, the red panel inside it should always be in the middle of it.. btw thanks for the rep.

-- Give the yellow panel a GridBagLayout
-- Add the red panel without any GridBagConstraint

Code:

---

yellowPanel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
yellowPanel.add(redPanel);
