You can't create a new variable using the value of another variable

>      javax.swing.JPanel tabName = new javax.swing.JPanel();
<<---------------------

A better way to do this is to keep an array of JPanels.  You can acces these
by number later.  The above code (if compiled) would change the tabName
variable from a String Object to a javax.swing.JPanel object.

 void jButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
   // get count
   int z = jSlider1.getValue();
   // create an array of panels that is the count value
   javax.swing.JPanel[] panels = new javax.swing.JPanel[z];
   for (int x = 0; x < z; x++){
      String tabNumber = String.valueOf(x);
      String tabName = "newPanel" + tabNumber;
      panels[i] = new javax.swing.JPanel();
      panels[i].setName(tabName);
      jTabbedPane1.addTab("tabTitle", null, panels[i], null);
   }
 }

I don't have any idea if this compiles (my compiler is hours away) but this
is the general idea.  If you can access your tabs (panels) by index you are
better off.  Otherwise you have to declare seperate variables for each one.

Hope this helps,
