I use multiple components that has a border painted. Is there any easy way to add a margin to the component so that the borders aren’t painted so close to eachother?

This is typically done using your layout manager. For example, if you are using
GridBagLayout, you would setinsetson theGridBagConstraintobject to the desired value.Another option is to use the
Boxobject and add a horizontal or vertical struct. See javadoc forBox.createVerticalStrut( int width )and the similarcreateHorizontalStrut.
