Answer

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
/*  ww  w . j  av a  2 s.  co m*/
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
import javax.swing.border.LineBorder;
import javax.swing.border.TitledBorder;

public class Main {

  private static final int NB1 = 5;
  private static final int NB2 = 13;
  private static final int NB3 = 15;

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.setTitle("Example2");
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

    JPanel p1 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));
    p1.setBorder(new TitledBorder(new LineBorder(Color.BLACK), "JPanel 1"));
    for (int i = 0; i < NB1; i++)
      p1.add(new JButton("Button " + i));

    JPanel p2 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));

    p2.setBorder(new TitledBorder(new LineBorder(Color.BLACK), "JPanel 2"));
    for (int i = NB1; i < NB2; i++)
      p2.add(new JButton("Button " + i));

    JPanel p3 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));
    p3.setBorder(new TitledBorder(new LineBorder(Color.BLACK), "JPanel 3"));
    for (int i = NB2; i < NB3; i++)
      p3.add(new JButton("Button " + i));

    JPanel global = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
    GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
    gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL; // added
    gbc.weightx = 1.0f; // added
    gbc.gridy = 0;
    global.add(p1, gbc);
    gbc.gridy++;
    global.add(p2, gbc);
    gbc.gridy++;
    global.add(p3, gbc);

    f.add(global);
    f.pack();
    f.setVisible(true);

  }
