A good answer might be:

Yes.

The Panel Container Class

The Panel class from the AWT is a container that

  • can hold other GUI components (as all containers can), and
  • can be placed inside of a frame (since it is itself a component.)
Now components you want to group together can be added to a Panel, and the Panel can the be added to the frame. As far as the layout manager is concerned, the Panel is one component, and will be placed in the frame using the layout manager's usual rules. You construct a Panel using its constructor:
Panel()
Usually you do this inside the definition of your program's Frame. For example, say that we wanted to group the following components of the fat calculator together:
  • The label for grams of fat and the text field for grams of fat.
  • The label for total calories and the text field for total calories.
  • The label for the result and the text field for the result.
This calls for three Panels:

public class percentFat extends Frame implements ActionListener
{
  Label title     = new Label("Percent of Calories from Fat");
  Label fatLabel  = new Label("Enter grams of fat:   ");
  Label calLabel  = new Label("Enter total calories: ");
  Label perLabel  = new Label("Percent calories from fat: ");

  TextField inFat  = new TextField( 7 );
  TextField inCal  = new TextField( 7 );
  TextField outPer = new TextField( 7 );

  Button    doit   = new Button("Do It!");
  
  Panel fatPanel   = new Panel();   // fat input components
  Panel calPanel   = new Panel();   // calorie input components
  Panel perPanel   = new Panel();   // percent fat output components
    
  . . . . . .
  }

So far this program has not put any components into the panels. This will be done next.
