Multiple objects in BorderLayout regions

Question

i'm making a title bar, and i'm putting the title on the left and two buttons on the right. But if I use BorderLayout.EAST for both buttons, only the last one will be showed. Can I get both visible? I tried using the JPanel but it's going to make padding/margin around itself, and i don't want that. I tried removing it using createEmptyBorder(0, 0, 0, 0) but nothing changed..

actually i like don't using jpanel, because when i resize my jpanel if there is not space enough for the title it becomes like My Tit.., instead if i put the button in the JPanel it doesn't, it's like there's something above the text..

I tried using the JPanel but it's going to make padding/margin around itself, and i don't want that.

The default layout manager for a panel is the FlowLayout. If you don't like the padding then get rid of the padding. Read the FlowLayout API for more information on how to do this.

Or you could use a BoxLayout in your panel. It does not add padding. Read the Swing tutorial on Layout Managers for more information.

Every layout manager has to make a decision what to do when there is not enough space. Read the tutorial and try the different layout managers to determine the one the best suits your needs.
