Achieving a LineBorder that is also padded

Hi all.

I'm using

Code :

---

setBorder (BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder (10,10,10,10));

---

to get some padding around a component (which is a group of other components), however I'd also like a thin border around this group (as well as the padding). How do I go about this.

At first I tried creating a new CompoundBorder with both the line and empty border. But this didn't work.

Cheers.

What do you mean by "didn't work"?

I'd suggest you throw together an SSCCE demonstrating what you tried. A single component with the compound border should probably be enough.
