You don't normally create your own, but Java windows have them automatically. It just simplifies things to separate the border from the contents.
See the second part (swing) of this tutorial... http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/painting/
Before Java 1.5 you had to mess about adding components and setting layout managers for the content panel, but now you can ignore that and just add them to the JFrame etc.
