add ComponentListener to your JFrame, hear to componentResized events, and
set size you like if JFrame gets too small.
Its not perfect (flicker), but it works.

You need to override getPreferredSize(), but
usually when a noob asks that, it is because
they do not understand LayoutManagers
well enough to use them correctly.

I suggest you make an example code* and
describe the effect you want to see..

You might want to try overriding the method "reshape(int x, int y, int w, int h)"
method instead. As far as I can remember, all variants that change the
location/size of a java.awt.Component eventually end up calling this method.

but not if you do resizing with mouse!
So you need ComponentListener.
