How can I force the size of a Java (.jar) application window?

I have an old .jar file that creates a main window with some textboxes for settings.

The problem is that some textboxes doesn't appear in the window (but they exist), if you lower the computer screen resolution they appear, but with higher resolutions, they disappear.

I tried to decompile the .jar file, but no success...

Since I cannot resize the window in any way (size seems to be fixed), is there a way to force it to be resized or set some Java VM parameters for this purpose?

The loader is "JarRsrcLoader". I attach an image showing the problem in Win10:

Jarfile not showing all textboxes

(They are not only cut, there are more textboxes).

I actually found a way to scale the Java application to a lower resolution and see it adequately, only for Linux (but it was what I was searching).

From this source (askubuntu.com): script to fix scaling of java applications.

It provides python scripts to adjust the resolution of certain applications (statically and dynamically) when opened (on a high dpi screen). This solution works for my problem.

I asked Mr Google for a Windows tool to make unresizable windows resizeable. Got several matches, here is a short list:
