Answer 2

1) A code quotre system would make this a lot easier... copy paste does not work well without one on OS.

2) What exactly is wrong with how they get placed?

3) I do not see any code to tell the GroupLayout how you want things grouped.

plz help me through this

Answer 4

See what happens if you comment out the adding of the text field here:

```
public TestFrame()
{
//frame
super ("Location box");
setSize(600,650);
setLocation(400,50);

//panel
jp=new JPanel();
jp.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("NUMBER ADDITION"));
jp.setForeground(new java.awt.Color(204, 204, 255));
javax.swing.GroupLayout jpLayout = new GroupLayout(jp);
jp.setLayout(jpLayout);

jb = new JLabel("Hello");
add(jb);

final JTextField jf = new JTextField(6);
add(jf);

setVisible(true);
}
```
