How to align the items in a form (grid layout)?

[onlybarca]

I need to place JLabels and JTextFields in a panel and align them as a form:

Name: <text field>
Surname: <text field>
Address: <textfield>

etc.

I'm trying to use GridLayout.


panel1.setLayou t(new GridLayout(1,2) );


It works, but the spaces between labels and text fields are very big. How to make them smaller?
Or maybe I should us a different layout for that?

Please help
