public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument();

            Border border = new Border();
            border.setStyle(BorderStyle.SOLID);
            border.setWidth(new Size(1, Unit.MILLIMETER));
            border.setColor("#000000");

            ParagraphStyle style1 = new ParagraphStyle("P1");
            style1.getParagraphProperties().setBorder(border);
            style1.getParagraphProperties().setTopMargin(new Size(3, Unit.MILLIMETER));
            style1.getParagraphProperties().setBottomMargin(new Size(3, Unit.MILLIMETER));
            doc.getAutomaticStyles().getStyles().add(style1);

            Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
            p1.setStyle("P1");
            p1.add("This paragraph has a solid black border.");
            doc.getBody().add(p1);

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.odt", true);
        }
