  public static CompoundBorder createCompoundBorder();
  public static CompoundBorder createCompoundBorder(Border outside, Border inside);
  public static Border createEmptyBorder();
  public static Border createEmptyBorder(int top, int left, int bottom, int right);
  public static Border createEtchedBorder();
  public static Border createEtchedBorder(Color highlight, Color shadow);
  public static Border createEtchedBorder(int type);
  public static Border createEtchedBorder(int type, Color highlight, Color shadow);
  public static Border createLineBorder(Color color);
  public static Border createLineBorder(Color color, int thickness);
  public static Border createLoweredBevelBorder();
  public static MatteBorder createMatteBorder(int top, int left, int bottom, int right, Color color);
  public static MatteBorder createMatteBorder(int top, int left, int bottom, int right, Icon icon);
  public static Border createRaisedBevelBorder();
  public static TitledBorder createTitledBorder(Border border);
  public static TitledBorder createTitledBorder(Border border, String title);
  public static TitledBorder createTitledBorder(Border border, String title, int justification, int position);
  public static TitledBorder createTitledBorder(Border border, String title, int justification, int position, Font font);
  public static TitledBorder createTitledBorder(Border border, String title, int justification, int position, Font font, Color color);
  public static TitledBorder createTitledBorder(String title);
