Unfortunately, the preferred size is what is fixed (500x300). I looked
into packing the JFileChooser and then seeing how small the accessory
component was, and then increasing the size of the JFileChooser by the
difference. But it actually sets the size of the accessory to its
preferred size. The components are not smaller than requested; they
just do not fit in the JFileChooser.
One thing that might work would be to lay out the JFileChooser, find the
largest bottom and right coordinates of the components inside it, and
then set the preferredSize based on that. You would have to adjust for
the bottom and right margins, since that approach would leave no margin.
