Jwindow behaves differently in jdk1.5

Question

Hi,
I created a splash screen using jwindow. In the earlier versions of jdk the splash screen (Jwindow component) can be moved back and i was able to switch to other applications. But when i used jdk 1.5 the Jwindow stays on top and even if i switch to other applications it remains on top. how can i resolve this ??? Is there any change in the behavior of the JWindow in jdk 1.5. This is urgent can any one help???
Regards,
Jonny

Answer 1

if having the app show up in the task bar is not a problem, you could use a
JFrame, then setUndecorated(true); so it will look like a JWindow.
Otherwise, this is just a stab in the dark, but worth a try
(uses a JFrame parent, but doesn't show in the task bar)
import javax.swing.*;
class Testing
  public static void main(String[] args)
    JWindow window = new JWindow(new JFrame(){
      public boolean isShowing(){return true;}});
    window.getContentPane().add(new javax.swing.JLabel("Hello World"));
    window.setLocation(400,300);
    window.setSize(200,200);
    window.setVisible(true);
}
