When you add a tab ( tabbedPane.addTab(..) ) you have to specify a Component. Just pass that method another JTabbedPane object.

[smitha verghese]

JTabbedPane tabbedPane1 = new JTabbedPane();
JTabbedPane motorTab= new JTabbedPane();

MainTab()
{
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
motorTab.addTab("Ascans",new Ascans());
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
}
Ascans is a panel
class Ascans extends JPanel{

Ascans()
{
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
setBounds(30, 40,300, 200);
setBackground(Color.blue);
setVisible(true);
}
}

But it doesnt add tabs one after another rather adds one on top of another
how come?

You aren't even doing what I said to do. You asked how to add a JTabbedPane to a Tab on a JTabbedPane. All your code does is instantiate 2 JTabbedPanes(), one of which is never used, and then you put a panel on one of the Tabs.

JTabbedPane tab1 = new JTabbedPane();
JTabbedPane tab2 = new JTabbedPane();
tab1.addTab("A", tab2);

This is the solution to your original question. Is this not what you want?
