Java help with LayoutManager

[SpinningAround]

I'm working on a little program in Java that will monitor my traffic amount there is a few things left but at the moment I'm trying to find a way to setup the Layout so it get the Layout as seen in picture two in attachment. The first attachment show how it looks now with flowlayout.

Might be possible but there are eight elements
JLabel
JTextField
JPanel

I'd use a javax.swing.BoxLayout for the content pane and then add all the widgets, thus:
(1) The BoxLayout must do vertical layou (PAGE_LAYOUT)
(2) (Since we're dealing with BoxLayout) we need to have each widget's preferredSize etc. set up properly.
(3) Each object must be in the center: setAlignmentX(Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT).

Attached example source code as a NetBeans ( 6.8 ) project and a screenshot.

Trying again to attach the screenshot.
Edit: oh nevermind, it's already there, looks like a glitch in the ubuntuforums.
