Hi, I had try to design a UI using GridBagLayout.I had a problem in that ie,the name of the Label is small(for example."Hai"),ane the gridwidth=1;when I try to add a JTextBox ater the Label,there I find huge space between the Label text and the TextBox.Could anyone help me to reduce the space between those Components?

Thanks for ur help in advance.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class GridBagLayoutExample {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    JPanel p = new JPanel();

    p.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
    GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
    c.insets = new Insets(2, 2, 2, 2); 
    c.gridx = 0; 
    c.gridy = 0;
    c.ipadx = 5;
    c.ipady = 5; 
    p.add(new JLabel("Java"), c); 
    c.gridx = 1; 
    c.ipadx = 0; 
    c.ipady = 0;
    p.add(new JTextField(20), c);
    f.getContentPane().add(p);
    f.setSize(300, 200);
    f.show();
  }
}
