Java: Is it possible to override minimum window width set by the OS?

I am writing a small program that requires a JFrame to decrease in width until it reaches 0. However, I believe the operating system prevents windows from getting skinnier than a certain width to prevent from obstructing the buttons on the top left (I have observed this on both Windows 10 and OS X). Is there a way to override or prevent this?

No, it's set by the OS. If you want to make it appear that the JFrame goes away, just set it's visible to false after a certain width.

if(frame.width < someNumber) {
    frame.setVisible(false);
}
