These two codes are practically equivalent:

int x = ..., y = ..., w = ..., h = ...;
JComponent x = ...;
x.setBounds(x, y, w, h);

int x = ..., y = ..., w = ..., h = ...;
JComponent x = ...;
x.setSize(w, h);
x.setLocation(x, y);

That is, the setBounds is a way to define position and size at the same time, while the setSize sets only the size and the setLocation only the position.
