Well, yes and no.  You really do not have to resize the frame.  Instead, 
you just make sure that the frame contents return the appropriate 
preferred size, and then when you pack the frame, the size will be set to 
accommodate the preferred size, if possible.

You may want to do some reading on layout managers in Java.  One good 
place to look is:
