Is there a way to draw (just a basic rectangle) outside of a Java
application's window frame?  If anyone is familiar with the Zoomin utility
that comes with MS Visual C++, that's exactly the functionality I want, when
you drag the mouse cursor out of the window. (A rectangle follows the mouse
around so you can specify what part of the screen you want to zoom in on.)
How can this be done?
