[JAVA] Swing Layout

For once I actually got the code working perfectly, but I need to fix up the layout of my program before I can hand it in. Here is what the GUI is supposed to look like:

My real weakness in programming is GUI layouts, especially with Swing. Here is what I have working:

Any help would be appreciated. And no you wouldn't really be doing my homework for me, the GUI appearance isn't being marked, but I'm a perfectionist.

I think you need to use some panels and align them accordingly, java's GUI framework is the crapest ever.

Well I've been using panels and containers, and I can get the same general layout, but it shows up with the buttons being half the size of the window. Swing is just an intro in this course, the next one goes very in-depth. We've only done FlowLayout and GridLayout, and those are the only two that I am allowed to use.

if worse comes to worse, use absolute positioning,

setlayout manager to null. and position and size using setBounds
