JTabbed Pane Applet, Panel layout troubles

Question

Why is it not letting me set the layout on the panel that shows up in the tabs? This is driving me nuts :|
import javax.swing.JApplet.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class UI extends JApplet
  public void init()
    JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
    JTextField textfieldA = new JTextField();
    JComponent panell = makeTextPanel("Blah");
    tabbedPane.addTab("One", panell);
   protected JComponent makeTextPanel(String text) {
     JPanel panel = new JPanel(false);
     JLabel filler = new JLabel(text);
     filler.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
     panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());  //Cannot resolve symbol
     panel.add(filler, BorderLayout.CENTER);
     return panel;
  public UI()
}

swing is just an extension of awt, but not everything needed to be extended. awt is the only library with BorderLayout.
