.a null layout.

In this specific instance, a GridLayout is perfect for the job.

Can you show code that can make an 11x11 grid of 
components, from a null layout, and be x-plat and robust 
through different Java versions, screen sizes and default font
sizes?  More simply than the code I posted?
(And yes, that is more than simply a philosophical 
question - if the answer is 'yes' - back it up with code).
