I'm making an application and I just created a jTabbedPane but to each tab of the I want to add more than one button or some selection point, that is to say that in the tab1 I left button1 and next to the button2.
Something like what appears in the image, that would be ideal
To achieve the desired effect you must use a JPanel which will contain the elements and organize them (using a Layout) the way you want. the Jpanel is created in the following way
public class ButtonPanel extends javax.swing.JPanel {
private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
private javax.swing.JButton jButton2;
private javax.swing.JButton jButton3;
private javax.swing.JButton jButton4;
private javax.swing.JButton jButton5;
private javax.swing.JButton jButton6;
private javax.swing.JButton jButton7;
private javax.swing.JButton jButton8;
public ButtonPanel() {
jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton("BTT1");
jButton2 = new javax.swing.JButton("BTT2");
jButton5 = new javax.swing.JButton("BTT3");
jButton7 = new javax.swing.JButton("BTT4");
jButton4 = new javax.swing.JButton("BTT5");
jButton3 = new javax.swing.JButton("BTT6");
jButton6 = new javax.swing.JButton("BTT7");
jButton8 = new javax.swing.JButton("BTT8");
//este Layout ordena los compentes en el Panel
//de forma que se vean como una grilla de 2 filas y 4 collumnas con un espacio
//vertical y horizontal entre los componentes de 10
setLayout(new java.awt.GridLayout(2, 4, 10, 10));
add(jButton1);
add(jButton2);
add(jButton3);
add(jButton4);
add(jButton5);
add(jButton6);
add(jButton7);
add(jButton8);
//...
//agregar eventos a los botones? o otros componentes a el panel
//...
}
//...
}
NOTE: this is just one way, another way is to use a Method that creates an instance of JPanel and add the Layout and the bottones:
public JPanel getButtonPanel() {
JButton jButton = new JButton("BTT1");
//...
//crear los demas botones
JPanel tab = new JPanel();
tab.setLayout(new java.awt.GridLayout(2, 4, 10, 10));
tab.add(jButton);
//...
//agrega el resto de Bottones
//....
// agregar eventos etc.
return tab;
}
this generates a panel that will look something like this:
to add it to JTabbedPane is done in the following way:
//...
MyTabbedPane= new javax.swing.JTabbedPane();
ButtonPanel mytab= new ButtonPanel();
MyTabbedPane.addTab("Pestania 1", mytab);
//...
the result:

OH and another thing. so you have a border use:
setBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10));
