What is this non-core class, and why are you using it
in code you post to usenet?

Please replace tab characters with 2 or three space
characters when posting to usenet..

Aha! So ..does
'de.coresd.swing.SwingConstants.INSETS_MIDDLE' *
...translate to..
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/GridBagConstraints.html#CENTER>
?

If not, what?
If so, why not use GBC.CENTER ?

* As an aside, that is a very unfortunately named class,
given javax.swing.SwingConstants, and that it seems to replicate
constants available in the AWT, ..and imply that they are part
of Swing.

}

...and please do not forget to add the closing '}'.

Having a self-contained code sample (no non-core imports,
no lines broken due to wrapping, all braces in place), helps
you to get the real GBL experts into considering the problem.
Though, one of them may glance at the code and spot your mistake.
Who can say.. ;-)
