<xsl:text> is for generating character data. &lt;/JPanel&gt; is a way to
represent </JPanel> as character data so it won't be confused with an
end-tag.

You wanted an end-tag? Well you can't have an end-tag without a start-tag
and that makes an element. XSL is about outputing elements, not just
individual tags.

So don't think of it in terms of wanting </JPanel> but rather wanting an
element of the type JPanel. In which case you just use <JPanel>...</JPanel>
in your template. You don't need <xsl:text>.

Hope this helps
