public double weighty
Specifies how to distribute extra vertical space. The grid bag layout manager calculates the weight of a row to be the maximum weightx of all the components in a row. If the resulting layout is smaller vertically than the area it needs to fill, the extra space is distributed to each row in proportion to its weight. A row that has a weight of zero receives no extra space. If all the weights are zero, all the extra space appears between the grids of the cell and the top and bottom edges. The default value of this field is 0. weighty should be a non-negative value.See Also: clone() , weightx

Weighty Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
In law and commerce, including product packaging and nutrition labeling, weight means mass. In science and engineering, the weight of an object is the force on the object due to gravity. Its magnitude (a scalar quantity), often denoted by an italic letter W, is the product of the mass m of the object and the magnitude of the local gravitational acceleration g; thus: . When considered a vector, weight is often denoted by a bold letter W. The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton. For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, about one-sixth as much on the Moon, and very nearly zero when in deep space far away from all bodies imparting gravitational influence.
