Creating a "Side Frame"

Hello, I have been wondering whether it is possible to create a JFrame that will not be an individual frame but will also not be confined to the borders of the main frame. What I mean is that I will have a "main" frame (which will also be viewed in the taskbar) and another "side frame" (which will not be viewed in the taskbar) and will be bound to the other frame, meaning, when the main frame moves, so will the side frame.

Just to make myself clearer, this is implemented, for example, in Photoshop - you have a main window but also other windows such as images and layers which serve as "Side Frames".

With Thanks,

laginimaineb.

Hello, I am sorry I did not make myself clear enough. I am looking for an External frame which is the same as the internal you offered, just not bound to the borders of the main frame.Thanks again,laginimaineb.
