If I recall correctly (and I may not -- my java is rusty), there is no status bar control in Java. If all you need to do is show some simple text, you can use a JLabel, anchoring it to the bottom of your JFrame. You may need to set it's border style to make it stand out from the rest of the window.
If you need something more complex, you can use a JPanel in place of the JLabel, choose the appropriate layout manager, and put your JLabels and whatever else you need in the JPanel.
