gridConstraints.gridx = xPos;
gridConstraints.gridy = yPos;
gridConstraints.gridwidth = width;
gridConstraints.gridheight = height;
gridConstraints.weightx = weightX;
gridConstraints.weighty = weightY;
gridConstraints.insets = new Insets(insetTop, insetLeft, insetBottom, insetRight);
...
voidadjustNarrowField(final JComponent component, final int width)
Adjust the sizes of the specified component to be a narrower field. 
component.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(width, HEIGHT_ROW));
component.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, HEIGHT_ROW));
voidadjustWidth(JComponent aComponent, int aWidth)
Adjust the size of a component such that it has the specified preferred width. 
Dimension preferedSize = aComponent.getPreferredSize();
preferedSize.width = aWidth;
aComponent.setPreferredSize(preferedSize);
voidallignBottom(JComponent lead, JComponent target, int width, int height)
allign Bottom
