How to set a minimum size of a JFrame

Question

hi freinds,
i have written a swing application which starts like this ,
public class workerclass extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
blah blah blah ..
now can you please tell me how to set a minimum size for this application once it starts so that user cant minimize it more than that minimum size.....
when i tried
setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
it did my job by setting it to a particular size which wasnt minimizable, but this default look and feel looked ugly.
so i used system look and feel
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
but with this how do i set the minimum size..
please do help
and one thing more , like
in my main Method when i say
new workerclass().setSize(500,500); or say(100,100) or say(300,300)
new workerclass().setVisible(true);
the size (***,***) , doesnt reflect when my application starts, it always starts with some damn fixed size , what can be the issue .
waiting.........
Thanks

don't know your code but ..
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class workerclass extends JFrame implements
ActionListener,ComponentListener {
public void initcomponenet()
setJMenuBar();
pack();
addComponentListener(this);
public static void main(String args[]) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new myclass.setSize(500,500);
new myclass().setVisible(true);
public void componentShown(ComponentEvent e)
     public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e)
          if(getWidth()<200)//restrict width to minimum 200
               setSize(200,getHeight());
if(getHeight()<100)//restrict Height to minimum
um 100
               setSize(getWidth(),100);
     public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent e)
     public void componentHidden(ComponentEvent e)
