Arranging Layout With JFrame

I'm just trying to do a simple JFrame class, with standard menubars, labels, buttons, etc. So far, it looks really bad. The only way I can get it to look somewhat decent is if I pack it, but then the GUI is too thin. When I resize it manually, I can get the correct position by sizing it to something specific, but it obviously changes when resized again, and I don't want to set dimensions, if my users are just going to resize it, and mess it up. I want the labels on the left, textboxes neatly to the right of them, and the button somewhere on the bottom.

I also want to dynamically create a new label, textbox and button when they click on "Write File" from the menu bar - I assume this is just done with action listener, but I have enough problems as it is with formatting my layout, that I don't even want to start on it!

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
