I'm still brushing up on the old Java GUI and ran into sort of a stump. It's just that the whole GUI thing is still fresh and I've only used FlowLayout() and I guess what I'm looking for cannot be done with it. This isn't for homework or anything, just something I am working on. Anyways, my problem:

Basically, I want it to look like this

```
Welcome!
Today's Date is: 
(space)
(space)
Exit button

```

My problem is I don't know enough of any of the layouts to get this done. I've been reading and messing with `GridBagLayout` and I can't get it to do anything and I've tried another way and the button was as big as the dang program. Anyways, here is the code that I have, even though it shouldn't really matter.

```
private void welcomeTab(){
    welcomePanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
    String currentTime = SimpleDateFormat.getInstance().format(
    Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
    final JLabel welcomeLabel = new JLabel("Welcome!", JLabel.CENTER);
    final JLabel dateLabel = new JLabel ("Today's date is: " + currentTime, JLabel.CENTER);
    welcomePanel.add(welcomeLabel);
    welcomePanel.add(dateLabel);
    welcomePanel.add(createExitButton());
}

```

Thank you. I've been reading so much and it seems all of the examples are for creating panes with all buttons and it's driving me insane.
