Is there any way to autoresize a JTabbedPane to the same size that the JFrame has?
I’m using netbeans to create the swing interface and I can’t figure out whether this is a property that I can set through the GUI designer or if I have to do it programmatically. If I need to do it programatically, netbeans doesn’t allow users to modify the auto generated UI code.

Thanks a lot in advance

    The Visual Guide to Layout Managers should be useful for understanding how components are arranged in container.
    For your task I would use BorderLayout and placed the JTabbedPane into it’s center area.
    For example:

     frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
 frame.getContentPane().add(pane, BorderLayout.CENTER);

    In netbeans you just change your frame layout to BorderLayout and after that in properties for the JTabbedPane set layout constraint CENTER
