No. You can make JFrames will funky shapes in Java 6, but that just involves making parts of a square frame transparent.

For your situation, just make a JPanel the size of the bigger rectangle and put whatever goes in that gap in the corner.

******       ###       ******
******   +   ###   =   ******
******                 ***###
******                 ***###

The problem I have two panels: 1 i mark with ## and the other I mark wiht xx

I want layout liek that

####
##xx
##xx

If i set bound of panel ### to be 3*4 - then every change I made in the panel will cause the second panel (xxx) to dsiapear

Put panel xxx inside panel ###.
Avoid using setBounds() for layout, use a LayoutManager instead.
