How can i create resizable rectangle in java swing?

Question

I need to add a small feature in a project where, rectangle with some trimable text in it, and the rectangle should be resizable.

I\'m short of time so didnt try out rea

Answer 1

I got the following example from online only, I am not the owner of this code sample. I forgot it where did I get this. Anyway hope this would help you:
