Add a border to AWT Label

Question

I had create a swing JLabel and used the JComponent setBorder() method to create a border. I need to not use swing and stick to AWT. Is there a way I can set the same border on an AWT component?
Thanks,
Chris

I think I screwed something up. The System.out... statements below print all 0's. So
getBounds() is not getting the size of the Label?
     * Initialization method. Executed when Applet is loaded
     public void init() {
          Color backGround = new Color(255, 255, 255);
          Color foreGround = new Color(0, 0, 0);
          // Process our Applet Parameters
          // Only if we don't have them
          if(bgColor == null || fgColor == null) {
               bgColor = getParameter("bgColor");
               fgColor = getParameter("fgColor");
          if(bgColor != null) {
               int hex;
               hex = stringToHex(bgColor);
               backGround = hextToColor(hex);
          if(fgColor != null) {
               int hex;
               hex = stringToHex(fgColor);
               foreGround = hextToColor(hex);
clockText.setFont(theFont);
clockText.setText("00:00:00pm");
          // Set our colors
          clockText.setForeground(foreGround);
          clockText.setBackground(backGround);
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
add(clockText);
Dimension dim = clockText.getSize();
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle((int)dim.getWidth(),
(int)dim.getHeight());
System.out.println(rect.x);
System.out.println(rect.y);
System.out.println(rect.width);
System.out.println(rect.height);
Graphics g=getGraphics();
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawRect(rect.x-1,rect.y-1,
rect.width+2,rect.height+2);
