Active resizing is enabled in Windows if you have Plus! installed. Control
Panel -> Display Properties -> Plus! Tab -> Display windows contents while
dragging.

Could you perhaps balk the mouse-up event in a loop so the window contents
is resized continuously?

A method I have used in other languages is to explicitly resize the
components on the window resize (or similar) event. This isn't great for
Java though as the layout manager does it for you.
