superponer jpanels dentro de un jframe

[abulon]

Aqui te dejo la idea:

Código:

Container content=this.getContentPane();


   JPanel pan=new JPanel();
   JPanel pan1=new JPanel();
   JPanel pan2=new JPanel();
   JPanel pan3=new JPanel();

   content.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
   content.setLayout(null);


   pan.setLayout(null);
   pan.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
   pan.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.LOWERED));
   pan.setBounds(new Rectangle(20,30,180,60));
   text.setBounds(new Rectangle(30,20,130,30));
   pan.add(text);

   pan1.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder());
   pan1.setBounds(new Rectangle(20,100,120,60));


   pan2.setLayout(new GridLayout(5,3));
   pan2.setBounds(new Rectangle(20,170,280,120));
   pan2.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
   pan2.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.LOWERED));

Yo lo implemente con un JFrame, es cosa de que pruebes


Greetings happy party!!
