JTabbedPane with a close button

Here is some code as well.

public static void createAndShowGUI()
{
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Tabs");
    frame.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(500, 200));
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();

    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setOpaque(false);
    tabbedPane.add(panel);
    tabbedPane.setTabComponentAt(tabbedPane.indexOfComponent(panel), getTitlePanel(tabbedPane, panel, "Tab1"));

    JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
    panel1.setOpaque(false);
    tabbedPane.add(panel1);
    tabbedPane.setTabComponentAt(tabbedPane.indexOfComponent(panel1), getTitlePanel(tabbedPane, panel1, "Tab2"));

    JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
    panel2.setOpaque(false);
    tabbedPane.add(panel2);
    tabbedPane.setTabComponentAt(tabbedPane.indexOfComponent(panel2), getTitlePanel(tabbedPane, panel2, "Tab3"));

    JPanel panel3 = new JPanel();
    panel3.setOpaque(false);
    tabbedPane.add(panel3);
    tabbedPane.setTabComponentAt(tabbedPane.indexOfComponent(panel3), getTitlePanel(tabbedPane, panel3, "Tab4"));

    frame.add(tabbedPane);

    // Display the window.
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
}
