LayeredPane is intended to show overlapping components simultaneously, 
as might be seen in JDesktopPane:

To show "different components at different times," CardLayout might be 
a better choice:

As an aside, I found it helpful to explore individual components using 
manual layouts before advancing to multiple, nested components in a GUI 
editor:
