I'm not sure I undertand what your trying to do, but...
The BorderLayout will resize objects to fit certain constraints. North and
South get their preferred height and fill the horizontal, East and West
get their preferred width and fill the remaining height. The Center gets
the remaining area. If you don't want your components stretched you might
put them in a Panel first.
