Overview of UI Elements tells you about the pieces the Java environment provides for building UIs.

Anatomy of a Program with a Graphical UI explains the Component hierarchy and how it relates to event handling and drawing.

Using Layout Managers tells you how to use the layout manager classes we provide, as well as [eventually] how to create your own layout manager.
