I know I can use componentResized to listen for when the user resizes a window. This isn't a very nice solution. If I do this and add a resize() method for the children components, then it waits until the user finishes the resizing before it calls the resize() method. Is there a way to resize the child elements as the resize happens?

1Using appropriate layout managers, it should not be necessary to manually resize components. – Andrew Thompson Oct 13 '10 at 00:59

The listener with componentResized() is the nice solution. Using listener in swing isn't a bad solution at all.

My problem is, if the user resizes the window from 600px to 800px, the components inside will not resize until the user has finished resizing. It looks damn terrible. I am seeking something that will resize the components with the window. – Oct 12 '10 at 21:40

usually component are resizing at the same time as the container (see the example given in the answer). – Colin Hebert Oct 12 '10 at 21:42

I was adding the listener to my window and not my JPanel, that was my problem. – Oct 12 '10 at 21:50
