I'm not certain what a swing Palette is. Probably a graphical GUI
builder of some sort. Two that I am aware of are associated with the
Netbeans and Eclipse IDEs. Questions regarding these tools are probably
better asked in their respective forums.

For Netbeans somewhere near here:

For Eclipse near here:

The buttons and label are in the jPanel. How would you make jLabel1 become invisible and invisible using two buttons.

You will need to let your LayoutManager know your intentions. The
best I can offer is a pointer to the Swing tutorial on LayoutManagers.

How your builder practices layout is better learned from
it's documentation and body of practitioners.

Since my last post I have come up with a possible use for
a disappearing label.
In the TextComponentDemo, located here:
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/generaltext.html> 

you might use the technique to enable/disable the status label
component. I'm not sure it's a great idea but, what the heck. I just
about have the code stripped down to demonstrate the idea and will post
back here when I am able. Unless of course someone in the meantime
writes in telling me that that is a real crappy idea, and comes up with
something better.
