Because no other layout can do my work. I want to design a board game:
put the places as JButton and the player as another JButton and put it
on the places. But the arrangement of places is very specific! (Take a
look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_(game))
As I said, the component doesn't know its X and Y (So we can't use
getX and getY)
