I also wanted to suggest that.

Depends on what application you are doing. My company is doing a Java
based kiosk system for example (of course we deploy on Linux). On such a
touch-screen based custom system fullscreen is of course the only way to
go.
On a normal desktop there might also be legitimate uses for fullscreen.
Games come to mind for example. But I also would not want usual desktop
applications to run fullscreen.

I do not know. But when you set the window size to fullscreen and center
the window, the borders of the JFrame will be offscreen and therefore
not visible. We use this technique in our system without any problems,
so try it.
