Hey Gaffers, I'm new at Java/programming, please help me with this. I've read a bunch of tutorials but still can't quite grasp this.

One of the exercises I'm having problem with is this:

I have to recreate that window, it doesn't need any functionality, just to be exactly as that image.

I ended up with this:

As you can see, all buttons and text are there I just don't know how to align them
Code:

import javax.swing.*;

public class Tema2 {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		JFrame ventana = new JFrame("Prueba");
		JPanel panel = new JPanel();
		
		JLabel etiqueta = new JLabel("Segundo Parcial", JLabel.CENTER);
		JTextField campo = new JTextField("", 25);
		JButton ok = new JButton("Botón simple");
		
		JCheckBox checkbox1 = new JCheckBox("Negrita");
		JCheckBox checkbox2 = new JCheckBox("Cursiva");
		
		JRadioButton radio1 = new  JRadioButton("Simple");
		JRadioButton radio2 = new  JRadioButton("Negrita");
		
	
		panel.add(radio1);
		panel.add(radio2);
		panel.add(ok);
		panel.add(etiqueta);
		panel.add(checkbox1);
		panel.add(checkbox2);
		panel.add(campo);
		
		ventana.setSize(300, 200);
		ventana.setContentPane(panel);
		ventana.setVisible(true);
	}
}

Same with this:

Ended up with this:

I don't know how to do the menu thing at the top of the window, that drop-down list and that box where it says Observaciones and you can write stuff.

And here's the code:

import javax.swing.*;

public class Tema3 {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		JFrame ventana = new JFrame("Trabajo nro 2");
		JPanel panel = new JPanel();
		JLabel etiqueta = new JLabel("Nombre del Alumno:");
		JCheckBox java = new JCheckBox("Introducción a Java");
		JCheckBox javaAvanzado = new JCheckBox("Java Avanzado");
		JTextField campo = new JTextField("Escribe aquí");
		
		panel.add(etiqueta);
		panel.add(java);
		panel.add(javaAvanzado);
		panel.add(campo);
		
		ventana.setSize(400, 250);
		ventana.setContentPane(panel);
		ventana.setVisible(true);
	}
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Been a while since I've done anything with swing but it looks like you need to use a layout manager. Nested layout mangers are the key to this type of stuff.

edit: check this out http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/using.html
this one goes through the different layouts http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html
final edit: looks like GroupLayout is what you need http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/group.html
