In the JPanel I placed JTextField and JButton, as the layout I'm using GridBagLayout which is left to default align (center). However because of the size of whole JFrame I would like to get JTextField to left and JButton to right. How do I do that 
private GridBagLayout gbag = new GridBagLayout();
private GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
private Border bs = BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.LOWERED);
.
.
.
.
public void setupIndexPanel()
{
panelIndex = new JPanel();
panelIndex.setBorder(new TitledBorder(bs, "Index File Path"));
panelIndex.setLayout(gbag);
tfIndex = new JTextField(20);
tfIndex.setEditable(false);
gbc.gridx = 0;
gbc.gridy = 0;
gbag.setConstraints(tfIndex, gbc);
panelIndex.add(tfIndex);
btnIndex = new JButton("Get index");
btnIndex.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 30));
btnIndex.addActionListener(this);
gbc.gridx = 1;
gbc.gridy = 0;
gbag.setConstraints(btnIndex, gbc);
panelIndex.add(btnIndex);

Don't try to force your design into a single layoutmanager.
Layer your layout.
You could for example place a panel in the region of the gridbag that you want those two components to appear, set that to gridlayout, and place the components in the cells of that grid.
These cells can be individually configured to have different alignment properties.

Check out the GridBagConstraints.anchor field.
