My Java Swing layout manager of choice to date has been the good old GridBagLayout (with a healthy dose of BorderLayout where applicable). However, there’s a new kid on the block (well, at least on my block)… and that is the MiG Layout (http://www.miglayout.com/)

I heard about MiG Layout ages ago and from what I read about it, it sounded pretty cool. But I’d never actually used it – until now.

I’ve just been doing some GUI work which required some hairy layout management so I thought I’d give MiG Layout a try to see how it fared. And I’m glad to report that it handled it with ease. So I’d definitely recommend you give it a try if you haven’t already.
