Drawing dashed line in java

You’re modifying the Graphics instance passed into paintComponent(), which is also used to paint the borders.

Instead, make a copy of the Graphics instance and use that to do your drawing:

public void drawDashedLine(Graphics g, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2){

  // Create a copy of the Graphics instance
  Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create();

  // Set the stroke of the copy, not the original 
  Stroke dashed = new BasicStroke(3, BasicStroke.CAP_BUTT, BasicStroke.JOIN_BEVEL,
                                  0, new float[]{9}, 0);
  g2d.setStroke(dashed);

  // Draw to the copy
  g2d.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2);

  // Get rid of the copy
  g2d.dispose();
}
