Answer 1

I'd lay it out like this (there are other ways as well).

Logically

• BorderLayout
  1. GridBagLayout (LINE_START)
     • GridLayout
       1. Button 1
       2. Button 2
       3. Button 3
       4. Button 4
  2. CardLayout (CENTER)
     • card Panel 1
     • card Panel 2
     • card Panel 3
     • card Panel 4
