Full screen mode in Netbeans

[Jamie Wool]

Has anyone got any idea how to make netbeans start a jFrame up in full screen mode.

Have tried the usual:

  
        Dimension dim = (Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()).getScreenSize();
        setSize(dim);

Any ideas?

Do you mean with the JFrame maximized or FullScreen Mode? 2 different things with 2 entirely different solutions.

Fullscreen Mode

Maximize Screen - Kind of depends on what JDK version you are running. You can try:

setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);

after you setVisible(true) on the frame. If you just set the size as the dimensions of the screen, the frame will fill the screen but won't trully be maximized.
