swing - getting Exception : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: cannot add to layout: constraint must be a string (or null)

Question

I am implementing browser kind of project and I am getting an exception.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.Insets;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import chrriis.dj.nativeswing.swtimpl.NativeInterface;
import chrriis.dj.nativeswing.swtimpl.components.JWebBrowser;

public class WebPageDisplay extends JPanel{

    public WebPageDisplay() {  

         super(new BorderLayout());  
         try{
       JPanel webBrowserPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());   
       // webBrowserPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Native Web Browser component"));   
        final JWebBrowser webBrowser = new JWebBrowser();   
        webBrowser.setBarsVisible(false);   
        webBrowser.setStatusBarVisible(true);   
        webBrowserPanel.add(webBrowser, BorderLayout.CENTER);   
        add(webBrowserPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
                    webBrowser.navigate("www.google.com");
        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();   
        Dimension preferredSize = scrollPane.getPreferredSize();   
        preferredSize.height += 20;   
        scrollPane.setPreferredSize(preferredSize);   
//      add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.NORTH);   
        add(scrollPane,new GridBagConstraints(0, 2, 2, 1, 1.0, 1.0, GridBagConstraints.CENTER, 
            GridBagConstraints.BOTH, new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0), 0, 0));   

         }catch(Exception e){
             e.printStackTrace();

        }
      }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        NativeInterface.open();

         SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

              public void run() {

                 WebPageDisplay webDisplay = new WebPageDisplay();

              }

            });

    }
}

Here is the exception.

You can't use GridBagConstraints if you're not using a GridBagLayout. The compiler is telling you that this makes no sense, and I quite agree.
