You shouldn't draw directly in the JFrame, even if you want to. Draw in a class that extends JPanel or other class that derives from JComponent. Do the drawing in the class's paintComponent method, just as is shown to you in the painting with Swing tutorials.

How I can draw something without override the paint method?

Go through the linked tutorial and you'll know. Or were you expecting someone here to create a new tutorial especially for you?

But I cannot redraw my shape.Why?

class sq extends JPanel{	
	 RedSquare2 redSquare = new RedSquare2();

public void move(int x ,int y)
{  final int OFFSET = 1;
	final int CURR_X = redSquare.getX();
final int CURR_Y = redSquare.getY();
final int CURR_W = redSquare.getWidth();
final int CURR_H = redSquare.getHeight();
	 repaint(CURR_X,CURR_Y,CURR_W+OFFSET,CURR_H+OFFSET);
	
	 redSquare.setX(x);
     redSquare.setY(y);

    // Repaint the square at the new location.
    repaint(redSquare.getX(), redSquare.getY(), 
            redSquare.getWidth()+OFFSET, 
            redSquare.getHeight()+OFFSET);}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);       
    g.drawString("This is my custom Panel!",10,20);

    redSquare.paintSquare(g);
}  
}

class RedSquare2{

   private int xPos = 50;
   private int yPos = 50;
   private int width = 20;
   private int height = 20;

   public void setX(int xPos){ 
       this.xPos = xPos;
   }

   public int getX(){
       return xPos;
   }

   public void setY(int yPos){
       this.yPos = yPos;
   }

   public int getY(){
       return yPos;
   }

   public int getWidth(){
       return width;
   } 

   public int getHeight(){
       return height;
   }

   public void paintSquare(Graphics g){
       g.setColor(Color.RED);
       g.fillRect(xPos,yPos,width,height);
       g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
       g.drawRect(xPos,yPos,width,height);  
   }
}

1. I don't see anywhere that the move() method is invoked.

2. I don't see any code that actually moves the rectangle.

3. I think you need to go through the API for repaint(int, int, int, int) to learn what it really does.

Additionally, learn to follow Java coding conventions: class names should start with an uppercase letter.

The move() method is invoked from other class.
Why repaint does not repaint the shape?
