Set Border Thickness on JPanels?

Question

I'm wondering if it is possible to adjust the thickness of a border around a JPanel in Java? I currently have a border defined and the JPanel adds the border around it but I would like it to be a little thicker:

Border border;
JPanel panel;

border = BorderFactory.creatLineBorder(Color.RED);
panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBorder(border);

I believe you could use BorderFactory

panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createStrokeBorder(new BasicStroke(5.0f)));
