Centering a JPanel in a JFrame

I have a JPanel that is used to draw the menu for my game and a JFrame that it is added to, I have to add the menu to the middle of the frame so that it will look just as good on a higher resolution as on a lower. I have tried frame.add(menu, BorderLayout.CENTER) and menu.setLocation(windowW / 2, windowH / 2) but none of these options work. What is the easiest way to accomplish this on?

Solution

  • Position a JComponent at the center of a JFrame

    use GridBaglayout without override GridBagConstraints, or BoxLayout then JComponent will be placed into center and isn't resizable with container
