There are lots of ways to do this... Try adding a JLabel to a JPanel in the SOUTH of a window using BorderLayout. Add a method to call the label's setText() whenever you want to change the status message. It's not very sophisticated but it will get you started.

Every Frame and JFrame also has a Title in the Title bar
you set the text of the title with the method:

public void setTitle(String?title)

The title bar appears at the top.

another option would be a JTextField that is not editable.
You could add this to a JFrame like a JLabel.

For either of these, its a good idea to set the preferred size so that it stays the same height and width.

Otherwise you have to call validate() after you change the text.
