How can I increase the width of the JTextField which are in Food Tab ? Below is my code

public class FoodOrdering {

    static private JFrame frame;
    static private JTextField textField;
    static private GridBagConstraints gbc;
    static private JLabel[] foodLabel;

    static private JLabel[] foodImage;
    static private File[] file;
    private static final int ELEMENTS = 9;

    /**
     * Launch the application.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    FoodOrdering window = new FoodOrdering();
                    window.frame.setVisible(true);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    }

    /**

You have made the fundamental mistake of using a null Layout Manager. By hard-coding pixel coordinates you eliminate any portability to computers with screen resolutions or fonts different from yours. How this is going to play with using a GridBagLayout at the same time is anybody's guess.

Line 142 - is the -- intentional?

Line 142 - is the -- intentional?

What did you meant ?

You have a gbc.gridy--; on line 142. It's unusual to see code that loads a form from the bottom upwards, also I can't quite see how that works with the +=2 every third pass on line 136. It seems that every 3 passes you add 2 but subtract 1 three times, so won't gridy go negative? (-1 for grid coordinates means "relative").
I'm not saying its wrong, just that it looked odd to me.
