As some else has mentioned, much depends on your

layout manager. You be able to do the job with

GridBagLayout, but if that's too much like hard

work, you can always turn the panel's layout manager off

and manually place & size each of your buttons.

setLayout( null );

and for each button:

button.setBounds( x, y, width, height );

If you do this, the buttons won't move or expand

when the panel is resized. I reckon that's not

a bad thing for buttons anyway.
