Adding buttons in a JToolBar after a JSeparator will push the button to the far
right (for a toolbar anchored at the top).

I have tried may different methods (including overriding the LayoutManager for
JToolBar, adding a Box.createGlue() after the separator), but nothing "logical"
keeps the buttons added after the separator next to the separator.

Here is a source file showing the behavior.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class ToolBarTest
{

ToolBarTest()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Troy's ToolBarTest");

frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we)
{
System.exit(0);
}
});

JToolBar toolBar = buildToolBar();
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.getContentPane().add(toolBar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
frame.getContentPane().add(new JPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(400,200);
frame.show();
}

JToolBar buildToolBar()
{
JToolBar toolBar = new JToolBar();
toolBar.add(new JButton("button 1"));
toolBar.add(new JButton("button 2"));
toolBar.add(new JSeparator(SwingConstants.VERTICAL));
toolBar.add(new JButton("button 3"));

return toolBar;
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
ToolBarTest test = new ToolBarTest();
}
}
