I'm in complete agreement with Chris on this one. I often sketch the
layout on a piece of paper (!) first so that I can immediately see
how the pieces fit together. Then it's just a matter of coding. You
can also see whether FlowLayout will do or if you require CardLayout
or something even more sophisticated. It makes actual development go
quite quickly...
YMMV
