Yes, many times. If you want to see the real ease of that (without
needing a GUI Designer), then take a look at Java's MiGLayout layout
engine. Absolutely brilliant, dynamic, requires little code, supports
multiple size types (pixel, cm, mm, inches etc), knows the button order
between OSX, Windows, and even supports a "debug overlay" to help you
resolve layouting problems.

This blogs shows a nice comparison of MiGLayout vs other Java layout
options. Noticably you can see MiGLayout requires much less code and has
many more features.
