Don't think you can do this directly tvia the Java API, as there is no
implementation for JFrame.setState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED). If you look at Suns
bug parade you'll see quite a few references to this (Bug Id 4071554,
4198845, ...). I noticed somewhere else on Sun's site that they were to
implement this within 1.3 but that doesn't seem to be the case.
As mentioned within 4198845 you could write yourself a JNI method to do this
in Win32:
HWND hWnd = FindWindow("SunAwtFrame", "MyWindow");
ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_MAXIMIZED);
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Jonathan
