Java GUI for java applications 1

[mooster2]

I have four little java applications/classes and I want them to be presented all together.

I'm trying to make some sort of Main Java GUI that will display all of the four applications, one in each corner of the window, like in this picture:

Can somebody tell me if this is feasible? if it is, can you hint me on how I can implement this?

Basically, the "Main application" simply holds the four little applications. It can also just execute them and place them in separate locations.

Any feedback is appreciated Thanks
