Problem with first attempt at Swing form

[Wes Harrison]

This is my first attempt at a form using the form designer in NetBeans but
it doesn't work properly and I can't figure out why. The question is, why
can't I resize with jSplitPane2 like I can with jSplitPane1? The divider
bar is frozen in one spot.

Thanks,

Wes

..The question is, why
can't I resize with jSplitPane2 like I can with jSplitPane1? The divider
bar is frozen in one spot.

At the natural size that the UI appears, I cannot resize either
JSplitPane (WinXP, Java 1.5.0 beta). Once I make the UI full screen
I can resize *both* down to (what I assume is) the minimum size of
the components within them.

BTW - a better group for this is c.l.j.gui..

I should have mentioned that I am using Windows 2000 and Java SE 5.0_01.
But even when I maximise that window I cannot move the left divider bar
bigger or smaller. Anyone else experiencing this?
