Are you sure you want to save the view and not the model? Another method besides Preferences is to use XMLEncoder

I don't know about sqlite but Preferences

is a good way to store information about your JFrame

As far as I know, it is actually not possible to store the JFrame in the database. Whether you do it yourself or with some kind of library, how it works, you store in the db all the information you need to recreate your JFrame.

JFrame implements Serializable, so in theory it serializes as ObjectStream, which you can use ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream and write the stream to the database.

All components in the JFrame must also be serializable. However, this is not really recommended as the api says "Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future versions of Swing."
