title: how to create a JTabbedPane java?
body: <p>i have an imageViewer and i want to change the imagePanel into a TabbedPane so i can have more than one image open at the same time but have each of them in a different tab and be able to add and remove the tabs as well.</p>
  
  <p>what i have:</p>
  
  <p><strong>private ImagePanel imagePanel;</strong> //&lt;&lt; i tried to change the ImagePanel to JTabbedPane but it doesn't work and it gives error in other parts of the codes that i have.</p>
  
  <p>// Create the image pane in the center</p>
  
  <p><strong>imagePanel = new ImagePanel();
  imagePanel.setBorder(new EtchedBorder());
  contentPane.add(imagePanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);</strong></p>
  
  <p>the code above is for the image pane where the image is displayed.
  is it possible to change the image pane to a tabbedPane without changeing other bits in the code?
  i have looked at alot of tabbedpane examples but i don't know how to combine the code with my code to get it to work but i did put a few code examples into my program but the frame changes to tabbedpane and not the image pane where the image is displayed. i want to change the inner frame to tabbed not the actual frame of the program.
  any suggestions on how should i go about it or if you can show me a simple example that could work.</p>
  
  <p>thank you </p>
