I used a GUI builder and i used null LM.

But why?

I use a layout manager for even the simplest prototypes. In a spirit of learning, I'd be really interested in hearing more about circumstances where a layout manager doesn't make development faster (and the prototype more reliable, especially if the screen resolution changes).

Please explain.

Well, this GUI was quite complex therefor Gridbag LM would be the solution, but as maybe you know
Gridbag LM isn't only one of the most powerfull LM but also one of most complex LM and you will need much more time as if you use GUI builder with null Layout.
