How can I set the insets on a JPanel?

I can see a method .getInsets for a JPanel but no method for setting the Insets. Any idea how I do this ?

well... you don't, really. You could subclass JPanel and override getInsets(), but typically, if you want to change the insets, it's common to use an empty border...

panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(2, 3, 4, 5)); // top, left, bottom, right

or you can use that with a compound border if you need padding and some other border.

JPanel jPanel = new JPanel() {

public Insets getInsets() {

return new Insets(4, 5, 4, 3);

}

};
