use a split pane to hold the other componenet and play with its size.

I'm not that familiar with the google desktop widgets, but I think I know what you're imagining.
I'd probably try something like build my app on a borderless JFrame. Then force the position of the JFrame up against the right side of the screen. They have an "open/close" icon on the frame that on mouse over, or mouse click, causes the width of the frame to resize.
Does that help?
