I agree that it is unfortunate that the MiG Layout site does not provide direct download links.

If your project is not Maven-based, you can download the JARs directly from the Maven central repository:

1) Go to http://search.maven.org/ and type in "miglayout".

2) Download the "jar" link for "miglayout-swing" and "miglayout-core", version 4.2 of each. Now you have your JARs.

(Looking at the "pom" link for each of these, you can verify they have no other dependencies.)

Alternately, if your project *is* Maven-based, just add the following dependency block to your POM:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.miglayout</groupId>
  <artifactId>miglayout-swing</artifactId>
  <version>4.2</version>
</dependency>

Then when you build your project by typing "mvn package", Maven will take care of the rest. (I.e., in that case, no need to explicitly download any JARs.)

HTH,
Curtis
