Use a JTabbedPane bean to provide a tabbed view for other components. Each component you drop on a JTabbedPane becomes a new page with a separate tab. If you want multiple components within a page, add a JPanel bean to the scroll pane and place the components on the panel. When you add a JTabbedPane bean, a JPanel bean is automatically added as the first page.
You should not use a JTabbedPane bean with AWT components. Although Swing and AWT beans can be mixed, it is inadvisable.
