Empty Border

The empty border leaves a transparent margin without any associated drawing. It's an alternative to using the insets in AWT. The class requires that fields such as top, left, bottom, and right be specified. You can also use an insets object to create an empty border. import javax.swing.BorderFactory; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class EmptyBorderForLabel extends JFrame {   public EmptyBorderForLabel() {     setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);     JPanel panel = new JPanel();     JLabel label;     label = new JLabel("Empty");     label.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 20, 10, 20));     panel.add(label);     getContentPane().add(panel);     pack();   }   public static void main(String[] args) {     EmptyBorderForLabel s = new EmptyBorderForLabel();     s.setVisible(true);   } }
