You can change the title of the frame, but that is about it. If you
wanted to use that space for additional gismos, you would have to
subclass JFrame.

JFrame frame = new JFrame("The Frame);
frame.getContentPane().setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
JLabel statusMessage = new JLabel();
frame.getContentPane().add( statusMessage, BorderLayout.SOUTH )
...

This is simply a statusMessage JLabel added to an
existing JFrame - no extend necessary.
