    Default Simple JToolBar Problem

    Basically I have created a JPanel with one JToolBar at the top (BorderLayout.NORTH), then I made a sidebar on the right(BorderLayout.EAST). Although when I add buttons to said sidebar, they are arranged horizontally(see attached, ignore the angry birds theme :p), when i need them to display vertically. I'm no expert with Swing, as you can probably tell..

    If you want help, you'll have to provide an SSCCE (not your whole program, but something we can copy and paste to run) that demonstrates exactly what you're talking about. Otherwise we're just guessing.

    Apologies, messing around with GridLayout, I managed to fix my problem. Was a simple one line:

    toolbar2.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1));
