Fullscreen on OS X Panther (10.3)

Question

I am developing an application that needs to go full screen on OS X Panther or later. I can make a JFrame go full screen on Windows with the following code:
frame.dispose();
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.setResizable(false);
device.setFullScreenWindow(frame);
frame.setVisible(true);But it doesn�t seem to work on Panther. The dock and the menu bar are still visible. Is it possible for a Java application to simulate true full screen on OS X?

Answer 1

Given that the target machines have Java 1.5 and
Tiger, how would you go about getting a JFrame to
full screen such that the dock and the menu are not
visible? (I ask because I might be able upgrade the
target machines to Tiger).I was wrong, fullscreen is a 1.4 addition, so it should just work on Panther.
What happens when you try this?
import java.awt.GraphicsDevice;
import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class FullScreenFrame extends JFrame {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        FullScreenFrame myScreen = new FullScreenFrame();
        myScreen.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        GraphicsEnvironment env = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
        GraphicsDevice gDevice = env.getDefaultScreenDevice();
        gDevice.setFullScreenWindow(myScreen);
        myScreen.setVisible(true);
I wonder if a mod can move this post to the
Swing forum? There are no mods here. They are barely able to keep the forum running, so don't be expecting them to actually moderate it as well ;)
