My first issue is that I can't get the splitPane to the right side of the desktopPane, no matter what I've tried (using EAST) it always stays on the left/WEST.
The second and most important problem is that I would like some sort of handle on the edge of the split pane so I can resize it without affecting the desktop (i.e. the split pane is overlapping the desktop contents, I don't want a three-way split). Right now I CAN resize, but I don't have a handle. I've tried placing the split pane on the west side of a new panel and a graphic on the east side, but it is not formatting correctly, despite my attempts using setSize(x, x). Below is a depiction of what I would like the splitPane on the desktop to look like. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate the help.
