That is easy enough in Swing. Call JFrame.getToolkit() and use the toolkit 
to find the screen size. Provided that your code expresses component 
dimensions as %age of screen size then scaling a window layout becomes 
automatic. I do this as a matter of course and my Java Apps work on a 
variety of screens ranging from SVGA to 1600x900 without any fuss or 
bother.

GridBagLayout has *always* sucked IMO. 

For the sort of layouts I generally use, i.e. paint a screen rather like 
we used to do with one of the 4GLs (Sculptor, DBase, etc), I prefer 
Riverlayout to any other layout manager I've tried. It was originated by 
Datadosen and was at www.datadosen.se/riverlayout but that site is now 
rearranged and the link is broken. I have source if you want it.

Or you could try MigLayout,  http://www.miglayout.com/ - I haven't used 
it but it gets quite a lot of nice mentions and its documentation looks 
well thought out and clear.
