I placed a JTabbedPane inside the InstallationNodeView, but it showed no border.

If placed JPanel like this,  
JPanel panel\_5 = new JPanel();  
panel\_5.setBorder(new TitledBorder(null, “Group1”, TitledBorder.LEADING, TitledBorder.TOP, null, null));

JPanel is no border too.

This works for me:

```
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    TitledBorder border = new TitledBorder("test");
    border.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.GRAY));
    panel.setBorder(border);

```

I think the thing is that borders are set to white in respect to the Basic UI Design. Changing a Titled Borders border color does the trick.

The `LookAndFeel` for the e-series doesn’t give a `TitledBorder` a `LineBorder` by default, so as you pointed out you have to give it a line border separately. The `LookAndFeel` for the CB3 _does_ give a `TitledBorder` a `LineBorder` by default.
