insets

top, left, bottom and right margins, specified in that order, measured in pixels. The LayoutManager will ensure components have some breathing room around them. If you always code your insets like this, the maintenace programmers who come after you will not need to remember the order:

gbc.insets = new Insets ( /* top */ 0 , /* left */ 0 , /* bottom */ 0 , /* right */ 0 );

Container.insets returns an Inset from the native GUI, how much room you have to leave around the inside rim of a Container. This is not something you can change, unlike the Insets about Components you feed to GridBagConstraints.
