I want my button not in the same row as my choose buttons in my gui? How will I do that?

How do I add a break to put my "Make pokemon" buttons and textarea not in the same row as my "Pokemon choice." I'm trying to put an empty JLabel, but I don't think it works.
public class PokemonPanel extends JPanel {
private JLabel lTitle = new JLabel("Pokemon");
private JLabel lMsg = new JLabel(" ");
private JButton bDone = new JButton(" Make Pokemon ");
private JButton bClear = new JButton(" Clear ");
private JPanel topSubPanel = new JPanel();
private JPanel centerSubPanel = new JPanel();
private JPanel bottomSubPanel = new JPanel();
private GUIListener listener = new GUIListener();
private Choice chSpe = new Choice();
private JLabel lEmp = new JLabel(" ");
private PokemonGUILizylf st;
private final int capacity = 10;
private PokemonGUILizylf[ ] stArr = new PokemonGUILizylf[capacity];
private int count = 0;
private String sOut = new String("");
private JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(400, 500);
private JTextArea textArea2 = new JTextArea(400, 500);
private JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(textArea,JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED,
JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
public PokemonPanel() {
this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 500));
topSubPanel.setBackground(Color.cyan);
centerSubPanel.setBackground(Color.white);
bottomSubPanel.setBackground(Color.white);
topSubPanel.add(lTitle);
this.add("North", topSubPanel);
JLabel lSpe = new JLabel("Pokemon Available: ");
JLabel lEmp = new JLabel(" ");
JLabel lNew = new JLabel("New Pokemon: ");
//add choices to the choice dropdown list
chSpe.add("Choose");
chSpe.add("Bulbasaur");
chSpe.add("Venusaur");
chSpe.add("Ivysaur");
chSpe.add("Squirtle");
chSpe.add("Wartortle");
chSpe.add("Blastoise");
chSpe.add("Charmander");
chSpe.add("Charmeleon");
chSpe.add("Charizard");
centerSubPanel.add(lSpe);
centerSubPanel.add(chSpe);
centerSubPanel.add(lEmp);
centerSubPanel.add(bDone);
centerSubPanel.add(lNew);
textArea.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 200));
textArea.setEditable(false);
textArea2.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 200));
textArea2.setEditable(false);
textArea.setBackground(Color.white);
textArea.setEditable(false);
scroll.setBorder(null);
centerSubPanel.add(scroll); //add scrollPane to panel, textArea inside.
scroll.getVerticalScrollBar().setPreferredSize(new Dimension(10, 0));
add("Center", centerSubPanel);
bottomSubPanel.add(lMsg);
bDone.addActionListener(listener); //add listener to button
bottomSubPanel.add(bClear);
bClear.addActionListener(listener); //add listener to button
//add bottomSubPanel sub-panel to South area of main panel
add("South", bottomSubPanel);
}
This is what my GUI looks like:
enter image description here
But it should show like this:

Can someone explain to me how I can do that?

Use a different layout manager (other then default FlowLayout which JPanel uses)
See Laying Out Components Within a Container for more details.

Also, avoid using setPreferredSize, let the layout managers do their job. In the example I'm used insets (from GridBagConstraints) and an EmptyBorder to add some additional space around the components
Also, be careful of using AWT components (ie Choice), they don't always play nicely with Swing. In this case, you should be using JComboBox

What layout should I use to make this work for Java?

Here's what I want the end result to look like...
I am trying to use a GridBagLayout for this but not sure if its the right choice because it's coming out all over the place. I know I shouldn't write all my code in a single constructor but here's what I have so far...

Its a bit ugly and you can ignore most of my comments I've been changing things around trying to fix it. I was using a different layout.

Edited: I went ahead and created the Pizza Shop GUI.
I used a combination of BorderLayouts and GridBagLayouts.
I grouped together the code to make it easier to follow. Grouping the code does not mean putting all of the JCheckBox initializations together. Grouping the code means that all of the elements that make up a JPanel are there, right next to each other. This way, you don't have to jump all over the code looking for the lines that define the JRadioButton rbMedium.
I used a separate GridBagConstraints for each Swing component to make it easier for me to debug the GUI.
I've left the action listener for you to code.
Here's the GUI code:

Use GridBagLayout, or use netbeans it will make it easy for you, other option use GridLayout(2,1)
in it 2 panel
panel 1 will have grid layout of 1,2 in it you first list and other pnael has grid layout of 2,1 first row is your second list and the second row will be the button finally put the order info in the second row of your base layout.

JTextField Everything looks ok in Eclipse but won't compile

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with this code?
I need it to pop up a frame and fill the frame with certain field a namer field and an intake field and also display a button at the bottom of the grid.
Any help would be welcomed, Thanks!!
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

This is not how you use GridLayout:
frame.getContentPane().add(PL, first);
Instead you'd set the container's layout using the layout manager:
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(first);
and then add components to the container:
frame.getContentPane().add(PL);
frame.getContentPane().add(PLv);
frame.getContentPane().add(AD);
frame.getContentPane().add(ADv);
frame.getContentPane().add(AV);
frame.getContentPane().add(Avv);
frame.getContentPane().add(TS);
frame.getContentPane().add(TSv);
frame.getContentPane().add(MT);
frame.getContentPane().add(MTv);
// and so on for all the components.
You will want to read the tutorial on how to use GridLayout which you can find here: GridLayout Tutorial.
As an aside, note that this:
frame.getContentPane().add(PL);
can be shortened to this:
frame.add(PL);
Also you will want to study and learn Java naming conventions: class names begin with an upper case letter and all method and variables with lower case letters. Also avoid variable names like pl or plv, or ad or adv, and instead use names that are a little bit longer and have meaning, names that make your code self-commenting. So instead of AD, consider angularDisplacementField for the JTextfield's name.
Myself, I'd use a GridBagLayout and do something like:

Need help making button relay information

Okay, so I have made a GUI with some input boxes and a combo box. I am wondering how I would go about having a listener know when the button is pressed then relay all the information in the imput boxes and combo box into different parts of the script...

#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() == combo) {
System.out.println(combo.getSelectedIndex()+1);
}
}
}

It's quite straightforward to add an ActionListener to a JButton.
// ...
btnConfirm = new JButton("Turn Up");
btnConfirm.addActionListener(this);
panel_1.add(btnConfirm);
// ...
Because you'll want to know when the button is triggering the callback, like so:
private JButton btnConfirm;
This way, you'll be able to tell when it's that button that triggered the actionListener() method:
if (event.getSource() == btnConfirm) {
// Handle "Turn Up" button press here
}

Start by taking a look at How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons and How to Write an Action Listener
Essentially you need to register an ActionListener with your button...
There are a number of ways you might be able to achieve this...
You Could
Use the more traditional, purpose class...
public class ActionHandler implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
if ("Turn Up".evt.getActionCommand()) {
// Handle Turn Up...
}
}
}
In this context, you'll be required to provide a reference to the component you want to modify so that the ActionHandler can interact with it, personally, this is best done via an interface, but that's just me...
public class ActionHandler implements ActionListener {
private dogedice dice;
public ActionHandler(dogedice dice) {
this.dice = dice;
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
//...
}
}
The benefit of this is you can plug an play the action handler, changing what the action does depending on your needs. If you use an interface instead of an implementation reference, you further decouple the action from the program
You Could
Use use an anonymous class
btnConfirm = new JButton("Turn Up");
btnConfirm.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
// handle turn up action...
}
});
The benefit to this is, you don't end up with "another" class, the ActionListener can reference all the internal fields of the parent class and, because you've attached it directly, you can assume that the only thing that is going to generate the ActionEvent is the btnConfirm button.
The downside is you lose the flexibility to change how the action is handled without physically modifying the code
You Could
Take advantage of the Actions API, this is a little like the first option, in that you (should normally) create another class specifically designed to handle the "Turn Up" event, but these are self contained entities. That is, they carry all the information required to configure the UI element and perform the required action when triggered.
This is really good where the action may be repeated in the UI via menus, buttons or key strokes

Debugging code I have with 2 classes and a JFrame that holds 4 JPanels

I am looking for help to debug this program that I have written there are, no errors but the goal is to create a frame with three panels inside of it each of which has a titled border. I am having difficulty because my prompt requires of me to make 2 constructors and 2 classes so when I call the DailySales class in main I feel it doesn't include the other class.
So basically how can I make the panels show up while still keeping two classes and two constructors and how would I add titled borders to each of the JPanels, sorry but I'm having difficulty with the Oracle tutorial.
