Automate JFrame Bounds with respect to components size

I have created a simple JFrame with two labels, two fields and two buttons. ContentPane with BoxLayout has a JPanel. JPanel with MigLayout have all the 6 components. Components are placed relatively and growable, but I am forced to give bounds to JFrame, which I would like to avoid. If I avoid setBounds(). Frame appears very small and it shows only window buttons. If I mention some size to JFrame, it can accomodate components well in Windows not in Mac(Buttons at bottom are truncated a little). Specifying greater frame size spares look and feel in Windows.

Is it possible to make a JFrame growing automatically with respect to its child components? or to make it accomodate everything dynamically without setting bounds?

Call pack().

Causes this Window to be sized to fit the preferred size and layouts of its subcomponents. ..
