Create a Panel, create a titled border and you will be able to put inside all your field components.

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(new JLabel("foo"));
panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("bar"));

Have a look at javax.swing.border.TitledBorder. You can set them on panels and are similar in appearance to HTML fieldsets.

Border titleBorder = new TitledBorder(new LineBorder(Color.RED), "Fieldset");

You could then add the border to your panel using the setBorder() method.

If you are using SWT than I think that org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Group is what you are looking for. It is a Composite (a block in HTML analogy) and it looks like a fieldset in HTML.

I can't speak for AWT and SWING however.
