I have a panel P1 to which I add textareas T1, T2, .. Tn I have placed T1, T2,... Tn in P1 in a BoxLayout. Now I need the textareas to be draggable and droppoable on P1. When I drag T1 and drop it somewhere on P1, the layout manager takes precedence and places it in a Boxlayout fashion whereas I want the textarea to be placed where I dropped it. Essentially, I am mixing the layout manager and my own positioning here. Is this possible? If no, how do I achieve this? Should I have to go for my own layout manager or absolute positioning?
