Spec for method "void addLayoutComponent(String name, Component comp)"
states: "Adds the specified component with the specified name to the
layout.". Actually component is not added after call to
addLayoutComponent(String, Component). Sample1 below demonstrates it.
One might think that you have to add component via call to methods of
Container but it is also impossible. None of methods of Container
that can take String as argument call this method of GridBagLayout,
see Sample2 and Sample3 below.

Sample code:
============addLC2.java (Sample1)===============================
import java.awt.*;

public class addLC2 {

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
        GridBagLayout gbl = new GridBagLayout();
        Container parent = new Container();
        parent.setLayout(gbl);

        Component comp = new Component(){};

        try {
            parent.add("component", comp);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
            System.out.println("IllegalArgumentException thrown from " +
                               "parent.add(\"component\", comp);");
        }

        try {
            parent.add(comp, "component");
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
            System.out.println("IllegalArgumentException thrown from " +
                               "parent.add(comp, \"component\");");
        }

        System.out.println(gbl.minimumLayoutSize(parent));

        gbl.addLayoutComponent("component", comp);

        System.out.println(gbl.minimumLayoutSize(parent));
    }
}
