How do I make this FlowLayout wrap within its JSpl

I wrote this code sample to illustrate a problem I'm having with my program.

I expect to be able to slide the JSplitPane's slider bar to the left, beyond the edge of the buttons, compressing that JPanel, and have the FlowLayout wrap the buttons to a second row.

Instead, the JSplitPane does not allow me to move the slider past the rightmost button on the screen, and if I resize the entire JFrame to force the compression, the buttons (I presume) are just running off the righthand side of the JPanel, underneath the slider bar (I guess, because I obviously cannot see them).

What am I doing wrong?

            go();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(-1);
        }
    }
    private void go() throws Exception {
        JFrame jframe = new JFrame("FlowLayoutTest");
        JPanel left = new JPanel();
        left.setBackground(Color.RED);
        left.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        JPanel right = new JPanel();
        right.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
        right.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        JSplitPane topmost =
            new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT, left, right);
        jframe.setContentPane(topmost);
        JPanel bottomleft = new JPanel();
        bottomleft.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
        bottomleft.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        left.add(bottomleft, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            bottomleft.add(new JButton("" + i));
        }
        jframe.pack();
        jframe.setVisible(true);
        jframe.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }
}

回答1:

Is there another layout manager besides FlowLayout that will do what I'm looking for?

Wrap Layout should work.

回答2:

If you add this

bottomleft.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(0, 0));

before the pack() then it'll reflow. BUT, it won't re-pack the border layout, so instead of two lines you'll get one with the rest cut off. So after a resize you'll have to repack the border layout. If you omit the border layout then it'll reflow like you want.

That said, you should avoid FlowLayout like the plague. Most of the layouts that come with Swing are poor, but FlowLayout is one of the worst offenders.
