How do you set insets on a panel?

[DerekRaimann]

I have a very simple program using Swing. It creates a JFrame, and within that frame I create a panel using BorderLayout. The panel contains a ComboBox and a Label that changes depending on the selected item in the combo box. I was wondering, can I create insets for the panel without using a grid bag layout and setting constraints? Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any help you can give me!

You can set the JPanel's border via the setBorder method and use an EmptyBorder with appropriate parameters.

e.g.,

myPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 5, 10, 5));
