Java Group layout, vertical layout issues?

You need to set the layout for the container - see mark 1 in the third line below. To me it looks like you missed that and the container uses FlowLayout.

For reference, there's a working example of a two column, three row layout here, illustrated below, that may help guide you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
