Como centralizar o conteúdo de um GroupLayout no miniaplicativo Java

Question

Eu gostaria de centralizar o conteúdo de um GroupLayout no miniaplicativo Java.Depois de uma longa pesquisa, ainda não consigo descobrir como fazer isso.

O código abaixo mostra meu miniaplicativo.Todos os elementos são centralizados no layout, mas o layout não é centralizado no miniaplicativo.

JPanel cp=new JPanel();

String[] s = new String[2];
s[0] = "Price";
s[1] = "Name";

JComboBox c = new JComboBox(s);

JProgressBar pb=new JProgressBar(17, 23);
pb.setValue(20);
pb.setStringPainted(true);

JLabel l=new JLabel("Name of product");

JButton b=new JButton("Send a message");
b.setEnabled(true);

cp.add(c);
cp.add(pb);
cp.add(l);
cp.add(b);

GroupLayout layout = new GroupLayout(cp);
cp.setLayout(layout);

layout.setAutoCreateGaps(true);
layout.setAutoCreateContainerGaps(true);

layout.setHorizontalGroup(
   layout.createSequentialGroup()
      .addGroup(layout.createParallelGroup(GroupLayout.Alignment.CENTER)
           .addComponent(c,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)
           .addComponent(pb,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)
           .addComponent(l,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)
           .addComponent(b,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE))
);
layout.setVerticalGroup(
   layout.createSequentialGroup()
      .addComponent(c,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)
      .addComponent(pb,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)
      .addComponent(l,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)
      .addComponent(b,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE,
                        GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)
);

Agradecerei qualquer ajuda.

As linhas importantes são:

        Container cont = getContentPane();
        cont.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
        add(cp);

Você pode criar elementos de cola verticais e horizontais da fábrica Box e adicioná-los às laterais do layout.Quando o layout é definido, a cola se expande e força o resto do layout para o centro.
