ContenPane smaller than JFrame [message #1807611]

I set my JFrame to .MAXIMIZED_BOTH, but for some reason the content pane is a fraction of the JFrame. I can't place any objects outside the content pane. I can manually set the coordinates for labels and etc outside the content pane. But I am unable to drag labels and etc. outside the content pane.

From the screen shot you posted, I can see that you are using absolute positioning. You can change this to a different layout. I find GroupLayout is like absolute positioning but better (in my opinion). If you don't want to change layout managers, you can try changing the bounds property of the content pane via the Properties table in WindowBuilder.
