title: How can I align all elements to the left in JPanel?
body: <p>I would like to have all elements in my JPanel to be aligned to the left. I try to do it in the following way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>JPanel panel = new JPanel();
  panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
  panel.setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As a result Java use left side of all elements as a position of the element and then put all elements in the center (not left part) of the JPanel.</p>
