How to use No Layout or Absolute Layout like Eclipse?

Title says all I would like to use no layout or the absolute layout from Eclipse. Is there a way of doing this?

Solution

  • No.

    It's not supported in IntelliJ. Why don't you want to use a LayoutManager?

    If you use absolute layout, you have to do resizing entirely yourself, making sure things are lined up (which could be deep inside nested containers) by yourself, etc.
