Layered Panes...

I was looking up JLayeredPanes on the JAVA API's and it says that it doesn't have it's own layout..but then it says that you can use a gridLayout so it all doesn't make any bloody sense!

ECK! -_-

And each of my components is 195, 295. 

The examples are as confusing as heck and they, don't make any sense! >_< 

And to make it worse than it is, the Java API says that the bottom most layer is referred to as the DEFAULT_LAYER; the second one the PALETTE_LAYER; the third one, the MODAL_LAYER; the fourth, the POPUP_LAYER, and the last, the DRAG_LAYER but the example on the Java Tutorials don't have any of those words! SO HOW ON EARTH DO YOU CREATE PANEL THAT GOES ON THE TOP? UGGH!
