<Swing Dev> SpringLayout equivalent behavior

[Tadeus Prastowo]

Thank you for the pointer. I have filed the problem there. But sadly, the reporting system is proprietary now that I cannot see my open issue as commonly the case when participating in a free software development like, for example, Ubuntu launchpad.
