You can setup nested panels and layouts and thus you maybe want to make use
of these composition capabilities. For example, where you try to place three
buttons to the south position of your jtabbedpane with border layout, place
instead another panel into that south position, which will then contain your
three buttons. Assign to that panel also a layout like border or horiz. flow
etc.

Your JBuilder online help system should give you the needed infos, look at
it's section entitled "Designing Applications with JBuilder" and it's
sub-sections.
