Can a Swing JFrame or JPanel be resized dynamically?
I mean like the new "Apple Software Update" GUI (think it's for iTunes), it grows and shrinks on the fly.
But not only does it change vertical size, while doing this it also hides the components and then later make them reappear after another auto change.
I've been trying setsize and setvisible, but they haven't been working too good.
my messy code look like this, i hope you get the idea.
However, the bottom component keeps intruding on the one above it

setLocation(x, y);
