Couldn't you just put the content that you don't want to move in a separate JPanel that isn't the scrolling panel? I don't see any reason to include it in the scrolling panel if you don't want it to scroll.

So have one big panel (call it bigPanel or something) that doesn't scroll. Then have the panel that you don't want to scroll in bigPanel. Then also put the scrolling panel in bigPanel as well.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but wouldn't that solve your problem?
