You can use compound borders for that.

For Example.

//get border of your component which is button as you say
Border border = myButton.getBorder();

//create a new empty border with name it margin
Border margin = new EmptyBorder(0,10,0,0); //top 0, left 10 , bottom 0, right 0

//now set compound border to your button(component), with margin
myButton.setBorder(new CompoundBorder(border, margin));

//NOTE: CompoundBorder accepts two borders as arguments, first one is inner border and last one is outer border

Fixed it with the following code:

a1.setBorder(new CompoundBorder(new EtchedBorder(), BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(1, 8, 1, 1)));
