Arranging JLabels on JPanel when some of them need to be inside grid layout and some of them are not

Question

I want to place a game board in JPanel and i'm using GridLayout 10x10 In addition i want to place additional labels on the same JPanel but not inside the grid.

When i'm adding this labels they are automatically added to the grid despite the fact that i fixed the size.

To summarize: How can i arrange in the same JPanel with grid layout a fixed board with labels and additional labels in the left area of the plane. enter image description here

Use a [nested layout](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5630271/418556). Perhaps a `GridLayout` in the `CENTER` of a `BorderLayout` with a single column `GridLayout` or `BoxLayout` in the `EAST`. +1 for the artwork. — Andrew Thompson, Dec 21 '11 at 10:17
@AndrewThompson +1. I was about to tell the same. (Except the +1 part) — Harry Joy, Dec 21 '11 at 10:18
@HarryJoy *"Except the +1 part"* I'm a sucker for a screen-shot. ;) — Andrew Thompson, Dec 21 '11 at 10:20

Why not two panels, one with a GridBaglayout and another one with a BoxLayout enclosed in a panel with GridLayout? :))
