How do I Start Eclipse project with GUI windows spaced out?

Question

I'm running a large Java Eclipse project and when it starts up, I see 3 pop-up windows tiled on top of each other, as so:

I need to have them start up separated positions, as I'm always testing the program and dragging the windows. Can I somehow put them all in a bigger GUI window(pane)?

Answer 1

Use setLocation() method

windowName.setLocation(location_parameters);

passing the 'null' as an argument will make the window center.

There is another way,

setLocationRelatedTo(item_to_relate)

method. this will locate them according to the existing things like JLabels, existing windows, etc.

You presently have 3 JFrame s, I think.

You could change this to 3 JPanel s in one frame.

You would use a layout manager to arrange the 3 JPanel s the way you want.
