[my frames|http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s41/mypetdinosaur_photo/searchaperson.jpg]

i'm just wondering how to achieve a ui like that; spaced out evenly. it's really difficult to me. any tips on approaching it? is my approach really messed up?

class AddPanel extends JPanel
{
	//ui
	JPanel infoPanel, buttonPanel;

	JLabel nameLabel, addressLabel, phoneLabel;

	JTextField nameField, addressField, phoneField;

	JButton saveButton, clearButton, backButton;

	//app
	Person person;

	String name, address, phone;

	public AddPanel()
	{
		super();

		setLayout(new BorderLayout());

		setInfo();

		setButtons();
	}

	public void setInfo()
	{
		nameLabel = new JLabel("NAME");
		nameField = new JTextField();

		addressLabel = new JLabel("ADDRESS");
		addressField = new JTextField();

		phoneLabel = new JLabel("PHONE");
		phoneField = new JTextField();

		infoPanel = new JPanel();

		infoPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,3));

		infoPanel.add(nameLabel);
		infoPanel.add(nameField);
		infoPanel.add(addressLabel);
		infoPanel.add(addressField);
		infoPanel.add(phoneLabel);
		infoPanel.add(phoneField);

		add(infoPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
	}

	public void setButtons()
	{
		saveButton = new JButton("Save");
		saveButton.addActionListener(new SaveListener());

		clearButton = new JButton("Clear");
		clearButton.addActionListener(new ClearListener());

		backButton = new JButton("Back");
		backButton.addActionListener(new BackListener());

		buttonPanel = new JPanel();

		buttonPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 3));

		buttonPanel.add(saveButton);
		buttonPanel.add(clearButton);
		buttonPanel.add(backButton);

		add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
	}

	class SaveListener implements ActionListener
	{
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
		{
			name = nameField.getText();
			address = addressField.getText();

			person = new Person(name, address, phone);

			App.people.add(person);
		}
	}
