import javax.swing.*;
public class GUICreating 
{
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        JFrame frame1 = new JFrame();
        frame1.setSize(500,500);
        frame1.setTitle("BASIC GUI APPLICATION");
        frame1.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame1.setVisible(true);

        JLabel lbl1 = new JLabel("Welcome to IDM!");
        lbl1.setBounds(100,100,200,50);
        frame1.add(lbl1);


       JLabel lbl3 = new JLabel("Thank You");
        lbl3.setBounds(100,200,200,50);
        frame1.add(lbl3);

        JLabel lbl2 = new JLabel("Nuturing Achievers");
        lbl2.setBounds(100,150,200,50);
        frame1.add(lbl2);
    }
}

Java GUIs have to work on different OS', screen size, screen resolution etc. using different PLAFs in different locales. As such, they are not conducive to pixel perfect layout. Instead use layout managers, or [combinations of them](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5630271/418556) along with layout padding and borders for [white space](http://stackoverflow.com/a/17874718/418556). — Andrew Thompson, May 31 '15 at 09:46
*"follwoing is the code segment and the screen shot of the output window"* Where is the screenshot? Link to it.. As far as I can tell from that code, only one label would be displayed. — Andrew Thompson, May 31 '15 at 09:49

`frame1.setVisible(true);` should be the very last thing done to a top level container, directly after `pack()` to make the TLC the smallest size needed to display the components. — Andrew Thompson, May 31 '15 at 09:53

When execute this code, all labels show properly based on parameters that you define on setBounds function.

When use setLocation

lbl2.setLocation(20, 20);

method on last label object, it will display label according to x-axis & y-axis on your frame. It will works accordingly parameters that defines in setLocation method.

lbl2.location - This method is deprecated. So it may cause error or not display label properly.

If you use any other location method then explain which one you are using.
