        JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
        GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();

        JLabel name = new JLabel("Name: ");
            c.gridx = 0; c.gridy = 0;
            panel.add(name,c);
          JTextField nameTx = new JTextField(5);
            c.gridx = 1; c.gridy = 0;
            panel.add(nameTx,c);
        JLabel fName = new JLabel("Family Name: ");
            c.gridx = 0; c.gridy = 1;
            panel.add(fName,c);
          JTextField fNameTx = new JTextField(5);
            c.gridx = 1; c.gridy = 1;
            panel.add(fNameTx,c);
        JLabel age = new JLabel("Age: ");
            c.gridx = 0; c.gridy = 2;
            panel.add(age,c);
          JTextField ageTx = new JTextField(5);
            c.gridx = 1; c.gridy = 2;
            panel.add(ageTx,c);

        frame.add(panel);
        frame.setSize(300,300);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }
}

Did you check out the addBorder() method, and the BorderFactory class?

[Roldan Baldo]

yes, but i get confused.

i mean a border that can wrap that 3 label and 3 textfield, not the whole frame that will be having border.

We usually discuss this sort of thing in the Swing forum. Moving.

And have a look in the Java™ Tutorials; there is always something useful there.

Add the Border to the panel.

Exactly, except the panel has been added to BorderLayout CENTER so will fill the frame,
so would have to do something like frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout())
in addition to the panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder()) or whatever.
