Answer 1

Here you can find all informations you need.

Basically you can use border factory to create a Border using types available in Swing:

Border lineBorder = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBorder(lineBorder);

You can also define your custom borders implementing Border interface.
