Try this, and then do some experimenting.

1. Add 2 panels to a frame which has a border layout.  Set the 
   constraints of the two panels to Center and South, respectively.

2. Add a tabsetControl to the "center" panel.

3. Set the layout of the "south" panel to XYLayout (temporarily).

3. Add labels to the "south" panel and position them with the 
    dimensions and positions you want.

4. Change the layout of the "south" panel to GridBagLayout.  If you
    are not particularly adept at changing layout parameters using the 
    GridBagLayout, change back to the XYLayout whenever you need
    to tweak the layout of the "south" panel.
