import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        URL url1 = new URL("http://today.java.net/jag/bio/JagHeadshot-small.jpg");
        URL url2 = new URL("http://joesong.atspace.com/comicbookguy.gif");
        JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
        tabbedPane.addTab("James Gosling", new JLabel(new ImageIcon(url1)));
        tabbedPane.addTab("Comic Book Guy", new JLabel(new ImageIcon(url2)));
        JPanel contentPane = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2));
        contentPane.add(tabbedPane);
        contentPane.add(new JLabel("Rest of GUI", JLabel.CENTER));
        final JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setContentPane(contentPane);
        f.pack();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                f.setVisible(true);
}It's all in the layout manager. By the way, I don't know how this got started, but the GUI framework is called "Swing", not 'swings".
