JToolBar in Swing

[shvets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Alexander G. Shvets)]

Hi, Makarand!

You can simply add new elements to toolbar. If you wish to have some control
over appearance of it, try to use some free spaces between components like
here:

    toolBar.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(10, 20)));

The following code set given component at right side of toolbar:

    JPanel emptyArea = new JPanel();
    toolBar.add(emptyArea);
    toolBar.add(lastComponent);

It's my own experience.

Alexander.
