Manage two screens

Question

Hello,
I just start to learn java. One of my projects is to create an application that uses two screens.
Have somebody already done something with this kind of configuration ?
Some more details :
On my first screen (monitor) I would like to have the main application and on the second screen (monitor) I would like to have a other window that will display information to a customer.
So I would like to set the position of the two windows.
I already try to understand the Window class and GraphicalEnvironment, but I can't get a solution.
Thanks for you help.

I hope the following method helps:
void showFrame(int preferredWidth, int preferredHeight) {
Toolkit toolkit = getToolkit();
Dimension dimension = toolkit.getScreenSize();
// ensure preferred width fits user's monitor
if (preferredWidth > dimension.width) {
preferredWidth = dimension.width;
// ensure preferred height fits user's monitor
if (preferredHeight > dimension.height) {
preferredHeight = dimension.height;
pack();
setBounds( (dimension.width-preferredWidth)/2,
(dimension.height-preferredHeight)/3,
preferredWidth, preferredHeight );
setVisible(true);
}
