By default components added to a JToolBar will be left aligned. Often we want to shift some item to the right (for example a Help button is often displayed to the right).
The JToolBar uses a BoxLayout to layout it’s components. This allows us to simply add some ‘glue’ to push subsequently added components to the right.
JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar(); // These buttons will be left aligned by default toolbar.add(new JButton("Open")); toolbar.add(new JButton("Save")); // add some glue so subsequent items are pushed to the right toolbar.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue()); // This Help button will be right aligned toolbar.add(new JButton("Help"));
