According to guidelines, spacing between unrelated components must be: Windows: 7 DU (11px) Metal/Gnome: 12 px In case a component has 3D effect, 1 pixel must be subtracted from the right and bottom side of the component. The spacing is valid for default font size.

Found in NB20060315-1215 version.
We plan to add support for unrelated paddings.
I've implemented support for two more preferred gaps (unrelated plus one even bigger - see issue 73605 and issue 74313). So now there are three types of default preferred gaps available: - small which maps to LayoutStyle.RELATED - medium which maps to LayoutStyle.UNRELATED - large which currently maps to 18 pixels (not supported by LayoutStyle yet) Integrated into form_promoh branch. http://form.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=cvs&msgNo=4061 http://form.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=cvs&msgNo=4089
