Hi Jacob,

The layout manager you are using in the window determines whether or not the
components resize when the window is resized. If you are positioning
components manually (e.g. using no layout manager, or the XYLayoutManager
from JBuilder), the components will not naturally resize themselves because
their positions are fixed.

The solution is to use one of the other layout managers, such as
BorderLayout or, for complex layouts, GridBagLayout. Often fairly complex UI
can be built up with BorderLayout and nested panels. Have a look at the Java
Tutorial on java.sun.com for examples of using these layout managers.
