I'm writing a simple text editor in java, I have done it before now I have some new ideas, normally when I put in a JTextArea when I have a FlowLayout on my JFrame it will fill what is left of the JFrame. However this time it's not. Could someone help me out trying to get it to fill the rest of my JFrame? Thanks!

Java does have various layouts. For making dynamic body changes you have to learn more flexible layouts like grid or grid bag layout. Hope this help.

I know I can change panels by using card layout but while I was browsing I saw an effect where panels move from left or right to replace the current panel.
With Card Layout, changing panel is working but can't achieve a moving panel effect.
I don't know what it's called. I don't know if "dynamic" is the correct term for it.
So here's the link to help you guys understand my question better.

According to the description it's all done in Swing and no JavaFX.
I am trying to create a movie credits style scrolling animation to add to the end of the game demo I have made. I was wondering if there is any way to do this using Java SE without any third party libraries. Any help is useful. Thank you.
Yes it's possible. If a Swing GUI, you can place the text in a JTextArea, place that in a JScrollPane without scrollbars, and simply scroll the JScrollPane. If not a Swing GUI, then you will want to give us more information.
I'm pretty new to Java and have been stuck for hours trying to figure out how to do the following...
I would like to create a Java program that shows a panel (has a background image that is scrollable) that contains input boxes. Think of a panel that shows at 800by800, but the image is more like 2000x2000, with input boxes all over. As you scroll, nothing should move.
I'd be very greatful if anyone can point me the right direction or has a sample piece of code that they would share.
Thank You!
You could try a JScrollPane: JScrollPane
I am new to Java, started learning swing and have a problem with resizing a JPanel inside a JFrame. I am following this tutorial:
http://vincentramdhanie.blogspot.com/2009/11/cardlayout-with-netbeans.html
because ultimately I am learning each of the different layouts and have come to the CardLayout now. In the above, there is a JPanel being used for a status panel. That is what I want to do as well, but when I drag a JPanel onto my blank JForm it takes up all the space and I don't see any resizing handles for it like I would if I were using a .NET panel. Changing preferredSize in the properties window also does nothing. What am I missing here? I feel like a complete noob for asking such a basic question but I really can't find any way to resize this thing.. :-|
EDIT:
I forgot to mention; I am using NetBeans IDE
You can't resize the JComponent because you've select CardLayout. The CardLayout can holds/manages one or more components that share the same display space.
What you need to read documentation and good tutorials.
Assume that the back is using a JTextPane, and I would like to implement a view with a label. But how can I implement the view in Java? is that something like UIView on iPhone on the Java Swing? Thanks.
If I understand correctly, you would like to display a JLabel on top of a JTextPane. If so, use a JLayeredPane.
Read the Swing tutorial on layered panes to learn how to use them.
Are you looking for something like this?
See Twinkle
There's nothing special about this; just pack an extra JPanel along the bottom of your window, and put a JLabel into it; set the text of the JLabel as needed.
