Having got my cardlayout working (see earlier post), I am now trying to 
understand layout of components better.

I created a JPanel  with a JTextfield across the top of the panel, full 
width, and one JButton below on the right. I'm using a borderlayout, with 
the textfield set PAGE_START, and button set LINE_END.
The basic arrangement is as expected, with the textfield across the top, and 
the button below on the right. My problem is the button vertically fills the 
whole pane from below the textfield to the bottom of the pane.
What I want to is fix the height of the button so it's fixed. and doesn't 
grow as the pane is resized.
I've tried using
        button.setMaximumSize(new Dimension (150,10)) ;
        button.setMinimumSize(new Dimension (150,10)) ;
        button.setPreferredSize(new Dimension (150,10)) ; to try to force 
the size but these are ignored.

Is this possible ?
