Java about page

I'm trying to make a little about page pop-up in java but I can't seem to find the right GUI elements. Atm I'm just using a new JFrame where I add a JTextPane with some text in it but it looks kinda shit.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I'm trying to make smth like this:

It would be very helpful if someone could paste a little snippet or at least tell me which GUI elements I should use.

didnt read lol
read the sun/oracle gui-tutorial.
pay close attention to the layout-manager since they will affect the behaviour of your gui the most.

if u want to keep it simple:
use the box-layout manager, add some boxes + add some text to those boxes.
maybe not what you looking for, if you want GUIs, then there is no way around c#
java gui's aren't that bad tbh and the are easy to code too.

What a stupid reply...

C# is a copy of Java pal.

:D idd
They were just laking of imagination when they named it
afaik they wanted to name it J++ or something but they weren't allowed to do that.

layout-manager + JLabel + JButton ? where is the problem?
Don't have a GUI Editor here in netbeans. Teachers made us use Together + Jigloo so I have to place all the components in code rather than a GUI editor.
Parent
and? thats pretty normal since gui builder sucks and generate ugly code.
in this aboud page there is only text and some pictures -> JLabel there you go
Parent
manually code it, much better.

if ever you have to edit the code from netbeans it a nightmare

you're better off understanding your own code imo just means a bit more typing i guess :p

ask jusio @ #6aHgA ,
he is seniour jawa programmer or smth liek that )
he 'd prolly help
i guess i knew how to do that with swt
Try MATLAB. Always found it very good for making GUI's.
SLUITEN IT!
