Making Undecorated JFrame or Without Title bar JFrame or Window draggable

Hello Fellaws,


Well we have developed many Java application with or without Title bar of JFrame.


Most of us use setUndecorated(true); for JFrame to make their application attractive.


Famous applications that use this type of styles are iTunes, Winamp etc.


But, the problem Java developer face is that we can not make our JFrame dragged which is an awful feature :(


To help you all I am providing you an API which you can import in your project and with 3 lines you can add this drag feature to your undecorated JFrames.
