I put on the Gwen Steffani and got my mind right.
Layouts are now working.
Panel affects layout correctly.
Buttons now render and work correctly. The text base lines align correctly with Labels (unlike with iRex's SimpleButton, which is broken.)
Labels now render and work correctly (complete with alignment.)
TextFields now render correctly but I've still got to get the focus stuff working so you can key in text. But you can set the text from a button though (as seen in screen cap.)
Get your java coding fingers ready.
