It's helpful to read the JBuilder manual to find out how to drill
down into the source code of the classes from which your
dialog class inherits.  At some point (i.e., Component), you 
will discover methods for positioning the window/dialog 
(what you call MoveWindow() in the Win32 API) and resizing 
the window/dialog.  

In order to use JBuilder effectively, you have to learn how to
do this class navigation.  Often, it's the only way to discover
what you need.

There should be absolutely no need to use JNI for any of
the above, as far as I can see.
