Question about Netbeans...

Is there a way to turn off the auto adjusting feature in the GUI part of Netbeans? Every time I move around a combobox or a textbox or something, the GUI just shifts everything else accordingly... IT'S EXTREMELY ANNOYING. I have tried setting the default size to null (for the whole JPanel), but that obviously doesn't work because the panel starts out with no size... so is there a way to turn this stupid feature off? Thanks.

Can't say I've used it, but it's usually a layout manager class object that determines how components get laid out - have you tried a different LayoutManager ?

Whenever there is a hard job to be done I assign it to a lazy man; he is sure to find an easy way of doing it...

No, I'm not sure how I do that either.
