I have to recall that those setting methods have no effect when the BC is in the BoxLayout.y(), so by your suggestion I introduced the BorderLayout in the layout. My layout is very simple. A table layout is on the screen (main form) and on the right there is the detail cell with the right size percentage. In the detail part there is a vertical container, with some areas, and the BC has just to be the last component, but its size is not set correctly. The only possibility is to use BorderLayout and put it in the center, so it expands. Said that, I need to set vertical size, because some empty space should preferably remain. Is this possible, being that the setting methods have no effect? It is a design preference, I could also drop.
