What is the best way to lay out these components in Swing?

What would be the best approach / LayoutManager for JPanel, which was to display the components shown in the image? (Note: margins are resized horizontally if the window is resized, but not labels).

I'm currently trying (and struggling) to do this with a GridBagLayout. Is this the right approach or is there a better way? Should I try to split + subdue individual sections, maybe?

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. :-)

layout.row().grid(label7).add(field7).grid(label8).add(field8);
layout.emptyRow();
