A tabbed pane is a container that displays only one child component at a time. Typically, the children are themselves containers of other components. Each child is associated with a visible tab on the tabbed pane. The user can choose a child to display by selecting the tab associated with that child.
// Create a child container which is to be associated with a tab
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
// Add components to the panel...
// Specify on which edge the tabs should appear
int location = JTabbedPane.TOP; // or BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT
// Create the tabbed pane
JTabbedPane pane = new JTabbedPane();
// Add a tab
String label = "Tab Label";
pane.addTab(label, panel);
