Hi,
I want to create a swing component (from JComponent ) which can have
a fixed size which I specify (default to 700,300). I want it to have
same size when I put it in a layout. and when I set a new size for it
I want it to set itself to the new size, and make itself fully
visible. How to make that work ?

..put in a layout and position in the layout that
honours the preferred size..

..then pack() the root window.

See above, and probably also the Swing and layouts
sections of the 'Java Tutorial'.
