public CalculateDimensions() {

    JTabbedPane Tab = new JTabbedPane();
    JPanel jplInnerPanel1 = createInnerPanel("First Tab");
    Tab.addTab("One", jplInnerPanel1);
    Tab.setSelectedIndex(0);
    JPanel jplInnerPanel2 = createInnerPanel("Second Tab");
    Tab.addTab("Two", jplInnerPanel2);
    JPanel jplInnerPanel3 = createInnerPanel("Third Tab");
    Tab.addTab("Three", jplInnerPanel3);
    JPanel jplInnerPanel4 = createInnerPanel("Fourth Tab");
    Tab.addTab("Four", jplInnerPanel4);
    JPanel jplInnerPanel5 = createInnerPanel("Fifth Tab");
    Tab.addTab("Five", jplInnerPanel5);

    setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
    add(Tab);
}
protected JPanel createInnerPanel(String text) {
    JPanel jplPanel = new JPanel();
    JLabel jlbDisplay = new JLabel(text);
    jlbDisplay.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
    jplPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
    jplPanel.add(jlbDisplay);
    return jplPanel;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Calculations");
    frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {

        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
            System.exit(0);
        }
    });
    frame.getContentPane().add(new CalculateDimensions(),
            BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.setSize(400, 400);
    frame.setVisible(true);
}

}

The Swing tutorial is an excellent resource for building GUIs.

Take a look at the visual guide and click on the components you want for detailed how to guides for creating text boxes, and other items.

in your public static void main() method you should not instantiate JFrame frame = new JFrame("Calculations");

This is where you are going wrong!

That line should read:

CalculateDimensions frame = new CalculateDimensions("Calculations");

You will also need to change the line says

public class CalculateDimensions {

(it's near the top) says

public class CalculateDimensions extends JFrame {

then inside the method called public class CalculateDimensions { you need to add a line after JPanel jplInnerPanel1 = createInnerPanel("First Tab"); which says

jplInnerPanel1.add(new JLabel("Label");
