Place a panel; create a border for it.  Place a panel into that
first panel; create a border for this new panel.  Continue doing
this until you have reached the number of required borders.
If you are using JBuilder 3, creating a border is very easy
using the property editor.  If you are using JBuilder 2 (assuming
you are using Swing), you have to manually write: 

  Border border1 = BorderFactory.create...(...);


Make sure the panels have the correct layout to center each
nested panel, and finally, the button.
