JTabbedPane and its pages

To create a notebook of tabbed pages, you can use the Swing JTabbedPane (javax.swing.JTabbedPane).

When you drop a component onto a JTabbedPane, the component becomes a new tabbed page. The component is also shown in the Java Beans view as a child of the JTabbedPane. Only one of the pages is the active page that you can select in the Design view and work with.
