Some are:
Empty Border: It takes up space but does no drawing, specifying the width of the top, left, bottom, and right sides.
Etched Border: It’s a border with an "etched" look using the component's current background color for highlighting and shading. There are two types : EtchedBorder.RAISED, or EtchedBorder.LOWERED
Line Border: A line border with the specified color.
Bevel Border: It’s a beveled border of the specified type (either BevelBorder.LOWERED or BevelBorder.RAISED), using the specified highlighting and shadowing. The outer edge of the highlighted area uses a brighter shade of the highlight color. The inner edge of the shadow area uses a brighter shade of the shadow color.
Titled Border: It adds a title to an existing border, with positioning (example, sitting on the top line), justification (example, leading) and the default font and text color (determined by the current look and feel).
Justification can be one of the following:
• TitledBorder.LEFT
• TitledBorder.CENTER
• TitledBorder.RIGHT
• TitledBorder.LEADING
• TitledBorder.TRAILING
• TitledBorder.DEFAULT_JUSTIFICATION (leading)
Vertical position of the text in relation to the border can be one of the following:
• TitledBorder.ABOVE_TOP
• TitledBorder.TOP (sitting on the top line)
• TitledBorder.BELOW_TOP
• TitledBorder.ABOVE_BOTTOM
• TitledBorder.BOTTOM (sitting on the bottom line)
• TitledBorder.BELOW_BOTTOM
• TitledBorder.DEFAULT_POSITION (top)
