Newbie: Prevent stretching of widgets when using LayoutManagers?

Hi all,

The problem with my Java components is that they stretch along when I
resize the window. They become way too big.

I've been able to prevent this using:

thePanel.setMinimumSize( thePanel.getPreferredSize() );
thePanel.setMaximumSize( thePanel.getPreferredSize() );

But once I started using JTabbedPane inside another JTabbedPane this
method does not seem to work anymore.

Can anyone help?
Any help or hint will be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Francis
