Nevermind I found a solution, I used UnifiedToolbar from 
thehttp://code.google.com/p/macwidgets/ project with Java 6. Since 
moving to Java 7 and no longer using UnifiedToolbar I couldn't see a 
solution but delving into their code simply using WindowsDragger class 
works perfectly well

i.e.

     new WindowsDragger(frame, toolbar);
     new WindowsDragger(frame, statusbar)

In contrast the "apple.awt.draggableWindowBackground" option is only 
really useful if happy for the whole frame to be draggable.
