Control the minimum size of a JFrame

[Peter Chase]

Sorry about posting what's probably a trivial question to you SWING Gurus, but ...
I have a resizable JFrame as the outermost container of my SWING application. How can I restrict the minimum size to which it can be set?
While I'm here, some slightly harder, related questions: -
Can this be automatically calculated from the minimum sizes of the contents - in this case a split pane containing another split pane (containing a scrollable tree and a scrollable table) and a desktop pane?
How can I best ensure that split panes maintain sensible positions as the container which holds them is resized?

Sadly, you cannot restrict the size of a JFrame. It's a native peer, so it's being drawn by the native OS, and java doesn't provide you an API to access this kind of functionality. Maybe in a future version.
