How do I neatly indent some components using Java Swing layouts

Question

Using Swing, what is the best way to indent some components underneath a checkbox or radio button? I need to make something in the style of Firefox 3.6's Options->Privacy dialog where some checkboxes are indented under a "main" checkbox. I can use any of the standard AWT/Swing layout's including GroupLayout. I also have JGoodies FormLayout available to me. I tried using setLeadingColumn offset in FormLayout at first, but it seemed like it was not going to work well unless I was indenting under a Separator. Maybe I was just doing it wrong?

Is there anything like SWT GridLayout's horizontalIndent setting? That would be perfect.

I am working with JDK1.6.0_23.

Create a JPanel for the sub components. Then you can add an EmptyBorder to the panel with the required indentation.
