You can't have a border directly on a JWindow or JFrame. You need to put a JPanel with the desired border using the default JWindow/JFrame LayouManager (a BorderLayout). Then the JPanel is extended giving the impression that its borders are the JWindow one.

 import com.sun.java.swing.*;
 import com.sun.java.swing.border.*;
 // import javax.swing.*;
 // import javax.swing.border.*;
 import java.awt.event.*;
 import java.awt.*;

 public class MyWindow{
   public static void main(String s[]) {
     JWindow win = new JWindow();
         
     JPanel pan = new JPanel();
     pan.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.blue));
     win.getContentPane().add(pan,"Center");
         
     pan.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
     pan.add(new JButton("Hello"));
     pan.add(new JButton("World"));

     win.setSize(200,200);
     win.setVisible(true);
     }
 }
