This java tabbed panel complements the AWT of JDK 1.1 by adding the tabbed panel type component. You add any java component to the tabbed panel with a named tab assigned to each of them. The user can switch between the components by selecting the individual tabs. The java tabbed panel has added features such as detaching each tabbed component to their own top-level application frames and positioning of the tabs at the top, bottom, left, or right side of the panel. The foreground and background color of each individual tab can be set as well as a title label for the panel.
