Are there built-in properties or objects that would allow a panel within a frame to be resized by dragging its edge? I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if such capabilities exist.

Resizing a Panel Within a Frame

such capabilities don't exist. but if you do feal you have to re-invent the wheel, perhaps jinternalframe might be a better starting point than jframe (not that you said you were using jframe, i just assumed). it has the functionality you need, you just need to override paintcomponent and make it look lke the frame you want to see.

Thanks for the response.
I actually have an MDI (using JInternalFrames) with the panel I want to resize in the South of the parent JFrame's BorderLayout. I have buttons to resize the panel currently, and I guess I'll just be lazy and stick with them for the moment.
