    Why in this code, the Ok and Cancel Buttons are centered ?
    I want them to be at the right side.

    ...

             JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();

             mainPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(4, 4, 4, 4));

             getContentPane().add(mainPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
             mainPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(mainPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));

             // Top panel
             JPanel topPanel = new JPanel();
             mainPanel.add(topPanel);
             topPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(topPanel, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));
             JTree tree = new JTree();

             JScrollPane treeView = new JScrollPane(tree);

             topPanel.add(treeView);
             JPanel rightPanel = new JPanel();
             topPanel.add(rightPanel);

             // Rigid area between two panels
             mainPanel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(0, 3)));

             // Bottom buttons panel
             JPanel bottomPanel = new JPanel();
             mainPanel.add(bottomPanel);

             bottomPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(bottomPanel,
    BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));
     
    bottomPanel.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);

             // Cancel button
             buttonCancel = new JButton("Cancel");
             bottomPanel.add(buttonCancel);

             // Rigid area between buttons
             bottomPanel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(2, 0)));

             // Ok button
             buttonOk = new JButton("Ok");
             bottomPanel.add(buttonOk);
         }
