Here is what the JavaDoc says for 2.1:

 /**
  * pack specifies whether all controls in the layout take
  * their preferred size.  If pack is false, all controls will
  * have the same size which is the size required to accommodate the
  * largest preferred height and the largest preferred width of all
  * the controls in the layout.
  *
  * The default value is true.
