Resizing JScrollPane on a JTabbedPane

I have several tabs and on one of the tabs I put a scroll pane. I would like to add another pane below it so that I can add some buttons. It just keeps readjusting to fill the whole tab though. I have tried setsize and setprefered size but had no luck. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong or point me in the right direction? Much appreciated!
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(table);
pane.setBounds(0, 0, 415, 50); // < ---This seems to do nothing
pane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
JTabbedPane jtp = new JTabbedPane();
jtp.setBounds(-11, -14, 436, 170); // <---- I used -ve to hide border
jtp.addTab("tab1", new JLabel("Tab1"));
jtp.addTab("tab2", new JLabel("Tab2"));
jtp.addTab("tab3", new JLabel("Tap3"));
jtp.addTab("tab4", new JLabel("Tab4"));
jtp.addTab("tab5", pane);
jtp.setTabPlacement(JTabbedPane.BOTTOM);
frame.add(jtp,BorderLayout.CENTER);

Use a JButton to add new panels at runtime

I feel as beginner I may have bitten off too much in regards to application building. That said, I am working on developing an application for a friend that will have prompts where each JPanel will provide fields to create an object to be used later. What I would like to have happen is that when the panel loads, it displays one object creation panel and a button to dynamically add a new panel if the user wants to make multiples (the plus button would add the new panel).
I have drawn up something in paint to illustrate this:
By my very limited understanding, I can create a panel to hold these sub-panels, and then add a action listener to the '+' button to create new panels. The only way I could think to implement this is to create a constructor for the panel I want to add. Is this possible? Let me show you what I have:
package com.company;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
/**
* Created by Travis on 3/1/2015.
*/
public class MainSnakeGui extends JFrame{
protected int panelCount;
//row 1
JPanel row1 = new JPanel();
JLabel splitSnakeLabel = new JLabel("Create a Split Snake", JLabel.CENTER);
//row 2
JPanel row2 = new JPanel();
JButton addButton = new JButton("+");
public MainSnakeGui() {
super("Snake Channels");
setSize(550, 400);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(5, 1, 10, 10);
setLayout(layout);
FlowLayout layout1 = new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER, 10, 10);
row1.setLayout(layout1);
row1.add(splitSnakeLabel);
add(row1);
GridLayout layout2 = new GridLayout(1, 2, 10, 10);
row2.setLayout(layout2);
row2.add(addButton);
MainSnakeConstructor snakePanel = new MainSnakeConstructor();
row2.add(snakePanel);
add(row2);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void setLookAndFeel () {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel");
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
public static void main(String[] arg) {
MainSnakeGui.setLookAndFeel();
MainSnakeGui frame = new MainSnakeGui();
}
}
Here is the constructor:
package com.company;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
/**
* Created by Travis on 3/1/2015.
*/
public class MainSnakeConstructor extends JFrame {
public MainSnakeConstructor () {
JPanel splitSnakeRow = new JPanel();
JLabel snakeNameLabel = new JLabel("Snake Name");
JLabel channelCountLabel = new JLabel("Channel Count");
JCheckBox artistSuppliedCheckBox = new JCheckBox("Artist Supplied?");
JTextField snakeNameTextField = new JTextField(30);
JTextField channelCountTextField = new JTextField(3);
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(3,2,10,10);
splitSnakeRow.setLayout(layout);
splitSnakeRow.add(snakeNameLabel);
splitSnakeRow.add(channelCountLabel);
splitSnakeRow.add(artistSuppliedCheckBox);
splitSnakeRow.add(snakeNameTextField);
splitSnakeRow.add(channelCountTextField);
add(splitSnakeRow);
}
}

Think about it differently. You want a button that allows you to add new panels, so you really only need a single button.
From there, you need some kind common panel which provides the functionality you want to the user (the creation panel). Then, when the user clicks the add button, you create a new creation panel and add it to the container been used to display them, for example...

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(new TestPane());
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
public class TestPane extends JPanel {
public TestPane() {
JButton btnAdd = new JButton("+");
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JPanel buttons = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
buttons.add(btnAdd);
add(buttons, BorderLayout.NORTH);
JPanel content = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
gbc.weighty = 1;
content.add(new JPanel(), gbc);
add(new JScrollPane(content));
btnAdd.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
CreationPane pane = new CreationPane();
int insertAt = Math.max(0, content.getComponentCount() - 1);
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
gbc.weightx = 1;
content.add(pane, gbc, insertAt);
content.revalidate();
content.repaint();
}
});
}
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(200, 200);
}
}
public static class CreationPane extends JPanel {
private static int count;
public CreationPane() {
setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
add(new JLabel("Make it so " + (count++)));
setBorder(new CompoundBorder(new LineBorder(Color.BLACK), new EmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10)));
}
}
}
Now having done all that, I prefer the VerticalLayout manager from SwingLabs, SwingX library, which basically does the same thing...

JScrollPane not displaying

I'm trying to display a JscrollPane using this code. but it's displaying a blank frame with just the "close" button displayed. Can't figure out why it wouldn't display. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

I use this to call the above frame from another class:

tUI.getFrame().setVisible(true);
} else {
System.out.println("Account object must not be null");
}
}
});
Here is the getDataTable method...
public DefaultTableModel getDataTable(String sqlQuery, String[] customColumnNames) throws SQLException{
ResultSet rs = getResultSet(sqlQuery);
/* Metadata object contains additional information about a ResulSet,
* such as database column names, data types, etc...
*/
ResultSetMetaData metaData = rs.getMetaData();
// Get column names from the metadata object and store them in a Vector variable
Vector<String> columnNames = new Vector<String>();
for(int column = 0; column < customColumnNames.length; column++){
columnNames.add(customColumnNames[column]);
}
// Create a nested Vector containing an entire table from the ResultSet
Vector<Vector<Object>> data = new Vector<Vector<Object>>();
while(rs.next()){
Vector<Object> vector = new Vector<Object>();
for(int columnIndex = 1; columnIndex <= metaData.getColumnCount(); columnIndex++){
vector.add(rs.getObject(columnIndex));
}
data.add(vector);
}
return new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);
}
I received no errors

Problem #1
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
Avoid using null layouts, pixel perfect layouts are an illusion within modern ui design. There are too many factors which affect the individual size of components, none of which you can control. Swing was designed to work with layout managers at the core, discarding these will lead to no end of issues and problems that you will spend more and more time trying to rectify
See Laying Out Components Within a Container for more details
Problem #2
transactionPane.getViewport().add(tblTransactions);
Don't use ad with JScrollPane or JViewport, use
transactionPane.getViewport().setView(tblTransactions);
or
transactionPane.setViewportView(tblTransactions);
instead

Swing: create a CompoundBorder with 3 borders?

I am creating a JFrame object with some JPanels next to each other side by side.
I want the JPanels to have a 15px margin, etched border, and 15px padding. At first I thought that this would be something really intuitive just like the HTML box model, so I tried to create CompoundBorder inside a CompoundBorder but that wouldn't work.
Here's my code:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.*;
public class StackOverFlowExample extends JFrame {
public static void main() {
stackOverFlowExample window = new stackOverFlowExample();
window.setVisible(true);
}
public StackOverFlowExample() {
// create buttons
JButton foo = new JButton("foo");
JButton bar = new JButton("bar");
JButton foo2 = new JButton("foo2");
JButton bar2 = new JButton("bar2");
// create panels and add buttons to them
JPanel left = new JPanel();
left.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());
left.setLayout(new BoxLayout(left, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
left.add(foo);
left.add(bar);
JPanel right = new JPanel();
right.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());
right.setLayout(new BoxLayout(right, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
right.add(foo2);
right.add(bar2);
// add panels to frame
this.getContentPane().setLayout(new BoxLayout(
getContentPane(), BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));
this.getContentPane().add(left);
this.getContentPane().add(right);
// finalize layout
this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(150,150));
this.pack();
this.setVisible(true);
}
}
I'm aware that I could have just used GridBagConstraints or JButton.setMargin() to create the padding, and then use CompoundBorder to create the etched border with an empty border. What if I don't want to make my code look messy with those techniques though?

I'm not sure what problems you might be having, as you've not supplied an example of what you've tried, but the basic process would be to...
Create the inner border requirements (EtchedBorder wrapping a EmptyBorder), for example, new CompoundBorder(emptyBorder, etchedBorder)
Create the outer border requirements (EmptyBorder wrapping the inner compound border), for example, new CompoundBorder(inner, emptyBorder);
Apply this outer border to the component...
As an example...

}
});
}
public class TestPane extends JPanel {
public TestPane() {
setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
EmptyBorder emptyBorder = new EmptyBorder(15, 15, 15, 15);
EtchedBorder etchedBorder = new EtchedBorder();
CompoundBorder inner = new CompoundBorder(emptyBorder, etchedBorder);
CompoundBorder outter = new CompoundBorder(inner, emptyBorder);
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
panel.setBorder(outter);
panel.add(new JButton("Hello"));
add(panel);
}
}
}

Border twoPartBorder = new CompoundBorder(
new EmptyBorder(15, 15, 15, 15),
new EtchedBorder());
Border threePartBorder = new CompoundBorder(
twoPartBorder,
new EmptyBorder(15, 15, 15, 15));
l.setBorder(threePartBorder);
JFrame f = new JFrame("Three Part Border");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
f.setContentPane(l);
f.pack();
f.setLocationByPlatform(true);
f.setVisible(true);
}
};
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
}

I came back and just realized I asked a dumb question haha. Both answers above are very helpful and helped me solve the problem so I accepted one of them. Here's my solution after reading the two answers...
left.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(
BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(
BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,10,10,10), // margin
BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder() // border
),
BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(50,50,50,50) // padding
));
right.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(
BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,10,10,10), // margin
BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(
BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(), // border
BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(50,50,50,50) // padding
)
));

Create new line in row header of my custom JTable

I have some problem to put lines in row header of my custom JTable.
I create this JTable with this code:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Panel;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.datatransfer.Clipboard;
import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollBar;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.ScrollPaneConstants;
import javax.swing.border.BevelBorder;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
import javax.swing.table.TableColumnModel;
public class Form {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
List<String> visibleColumns = new ArrayList<String>();
// THIS COLUMN NEED TO BE IN 2 LINES
visibleColumns.add("Cod Type\nGroup");
visibleColumns.add("Name");
DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel(visibleColumns.toArray(),5);
JTable table = new JTable(tableModel);
Panel panel = new Panel();
panel.setBounds(5, 5, 352, 232);
panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
panel.add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
panel.add(table.getTableHeader(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
// Set Row Header
JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(table, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
// Set Column Header
JPanel columnHeader = new JPanel() {
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
JScrollBar sb = new JScrollBar(JScrollBar.VERTICAL);
return new Dimension(sb.getPreferredSize().width, 10);
}
};
scroll.setRowHeaderView(columnHeader);
// Set 3D effects to scroll pane
JPanel left = new JPanel();
left.setBorder(BorderFactory.createBevelBorder(BevelBorder.LOWERED));
scroll.setCorner(ScrollPaneConstants.UPPER_LEFT_CORNER, left);
JPanel right = new JPanel();
right.setBorder(BorderFactory.createBevelBorder(BevelBorder.LOWERED));
scroll.setCorner(ScrollPaneConstants.UPPER_RIGHT_CORNER, right);
panel.add(scroll, BorderLayout.CENTER);
//Setting column size
TableColumnModel tcm = table.getColumnModel();
tcm.getColumn(0).setMaxWidth(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
tcm.getColumn(0).setWidth(73);
tcm.getColumn(0).setPreferredWidth(73);
tcm.getColumn(1).setMaxWidth(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
tcm.getColumn(1).setWidth(222);
tcm.getColumn(1).setPreferredWidth(222);
frame.add(panel);
frame.setSize(350, 180);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
But I need that the text "Cod Type\nGroup" create a new line row header, like this figure:
Ps: Note that the text is centered.
Thanks

You can use HTML like this
visibleColumns.add("<html><center>Cod Type<br>Group");
visibleColumns.add("Name");
And also take a look at Layout Managers because swing is designed to use them instead of null layouts.
