The tabs of a tabbed pane can be placed on one of the four edges of its container. By default, when a tabbed pane is created, the tabs are placed on top.
// Create a tabbed pane with the tabs on top
JTabbedPane pane = new JTabbedPane();
// Get current location
int loc = pane.getTabPlacement(); // TOP
// Create a tabbed pane with tabs at a particular location
int location = JTabbedPane.LEFT; // or TOP, BOTTOM, RIGHT
pane = new JTabbedPane(location);
// Change the tab location
pane.setTabPlacement(JTabbedPane.BOTTOM);
