When I maximize my jframe it covers the entire screen even the toolbar at the bottom. I was wondering how I can prevent this? I have tried

this.setMaximumSize(dim);
this.setPreferredSize(dim);

with no success.

Thank you all

It works OK for me - not over the taskbar
win98SE, java1.4.0_01, taskbar autoHide = false

I tried this, it works by reducing the height by 30,
but loses the ability to 'restore' - hopefully there's a better way

 
What are you saying? I thought you said that Santa gave you that. And this tiny ad:
