It's been a while since I've used Java, but I don't think Java has any
equivalent to how Cocoa does it. Seems like the Cocoa layout manager is
equally capable though. Once I learned the Cocoa I was less
appreciative of overly complex GridBagLayout or whatever it's called
now in Java.
One thing you didn't mention: did you add springs for the interior or
exterior of the objects? The interior and exterior springs are what you
are missing perhaps.
Take a look at the Interface Builder help. If like me, you can't cope
with the Apple Help Viewer, crack that InterfaceBuilder.help bundle
open and view it in Safari.
In particular see in InterfaceBuilder.help
Cocoa Objects | Automatically Moving and Sizing Objects and
Cocoa Objects | Autosizing Examples
In interface builder, hit Command-R to test your UI and see how it
behaves.
