The FlowLayout layout manager is probably the simplest way to place components (e.g., buttons, text fields) into a container (e.g., JPanel, JFrame). All it does is put the components into a row and if that row reaches the edge of the container it starts another row. 

To find out more about the FlowLayout have a look at Using the FlowLayout or have a play with the FlowLayout example program and the GoingWithTheFlow example program.
