I was googling around for a while looking to imitate what our usual applications have in their designs: **Multiple Frames** (if I got that correctly)

I was wondering how can I achieve the same thing? I get the concept of (assuming I was able to accomplish making them) having layouts and resize managers inside my frame so that everything will still fit, but how can I add frames inside a jframe? how can I attach, detach, resize, turn them into tabbed frames?

anyone got a lead I can start reading about?
