Is Netbeans 8's GUI builder missing properties?

Question

My netbeans guy builder seems to be missing an option to change border style of jpanel. Videos and images of tutorials show a properties table that is a little different than mine.

EDIT:

So I created a new JPanel from File > new File. Et voila, the properties just popped up out of nowhere and also in the JFrame now.

A java.awt.Canvas is not a Swing component. You may be looking for javax.swing.JComponent, which includes "support for borders." For example, the cyan tinted JPanel, named buttonPanel in the illustration below, has a TitledBorder.
