Fullscreen pushing the limits?

Question

Cause i really need this fullscreen option i tought to give it another try..
by not using javafx pure but wrapping it with a swing application
so the idea is to start it as an swing application who sets the resolution and then display my javafx application :)
however nothing is displayed when i set the fullscreen option screen.setFullScreen(displayMode);
help :]

Hello mortias,
Why don't you use basically something like that? It will automatically fit the dimension of your screen
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Rectangle2D;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.stage.Screen;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class HelloWorld extends Application {
    //~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //~ Methods
    //~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Entry point
        Application.launch(args);
    @Override
    public void start(Stage mainStage) throws Exception {
        Rectangle2D primaryScreenBounds = Screen.getPrimary().getVisualBounds();
        //set Stage boundaries to visible bounds of the main screen
        mainStage.setX(primaryScreenBounds.getMinX());
        mainStage.setY(primaryScreenBounds.getMinY());
        mainStage.setWidth(primaryScreenBounds.getWidth());
        mainStage.setHeight(primaryScreenBounds.getHeight());
        Pane pane = new Pane();
        Scene scene = new Scene(pane);
        Label label = new Label("Hello World");
        pane.getChildren().add(label);
        mainStage.setScene(scene);
        mainStage.setVisible(true);
