does the jPanel have an equivalent property to the vb panel's tag property?

Can you describe the tag property for us non-VB programmers?

it's a non visible object property that can be used to store (+ retrieve) any sort of information

OK, Yes, I remember that when I dabbled in C#. No, I don't think that JPanel or JComponent has that capability, but there are other ways to achieve a similar goal including extension by inheritance or by composition.

JPanel has a Name property, but that is specific for a String. You could extend JPanel, and create getters/setters for a user object of your choice. Or you could key a HashMap with the JPanel, and value it with the object of choice.

There's a client property for all JComponents ...
