JFrame's TabbedPane has component sizing problems

Hi
I have a tabbed pane which must have 4 tabs.
One of the tabs refuses to size a text area properly.

Code below...
The design tab can't hold the big text area. One tab is okay with a text field.
How do I embiggen the panes, tabs and components?

Must the Tab pane itself be bigger?

Thanks
