checkbox and border on one tab

hi!

I have an applet and there are JTabbedPane with 6 tabs.
One of them needs to contain one checkbox and titled border and the checkbox should be out side of titled border.

I have func that starts like this:

public void createSinDataPanel() {
sinDataPanel = new JPanel();
GridBagLayout layout = new GridBagLayout();
sinDataPanel.setLayout(layout);

sinCheckBox = new JCheckBox("Sine plot");
sinDataPanel.add(sinCheckBox);
..
..
..

My question is do I need to create another panel for checkbox?
I tried but no border appeared.

What layout do I have to use?

For sample, visit the following site, scroll down a bit, and select "Sin Data" tab.

You make your sinDataPanel to have a titled border like this:

sinDataPanel = new JPanel();
sinDataPanel.setBorder( BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Your title") );
...

Sometimes java is rather straightforward, huh?

Add the checkbox and a NEW JPanel to the tab. Then set the border of the NEW JPanel
