Answer 1

If you make the tabbed pane accessible to ButtonHandler you can do this:

class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener{
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
              jtp.setSelectedIndex(0);
       }
}

You can do this by making jtp (ideally with a better name) a private attribute with a getter method or it can be passed in as a constructor argument to ButtonHandler.
