Create a window frame

new JFrame();

Nest panels within a frame for better layout control

final JFrame jframe = new JFrame();
final JPanel innerOne = new JPanel();
jframe.add(innerOne);
innerOne.add(otherComponents);

Create and display buttons in a panel

innerOne.add(new JButton("Hello World!"));

List two component attributes that are controlled by a layout manager

Obviously check out JavaDoc of BorderLayout: BorderLayout.NORTH and SOUTH

Set the layout manager for a container

innerOne.setLayout(...);

Place components in a panel using BorderLayout, ...

Just apply the layout, and add providing the arguments for the LayoutManager:

innerOne.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
innerOne.add(..., BorderLayout.NORTH);

Name one advantage of each of the layoutmanager.

Check out the JavaDoc's. They are really helpful in these situations.

Create panels with titles.

innerOne.setBorder(new TitledBorder("Hello World"));
