Hi, <br />
<br />
I think you should have a look at the class JDesktopPane and play around with the LayoutManagers , and LayeredPanes.<br />
<br />
Maybe this thread could help you<br />

swing layout question

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
