There is currently no direct support for this. The best you can do is make sure the frame is deiconified then set its size to the screen size. <br />
<br />
frame.setState(Frame.NORMA<wbr />L);<br />
Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(<wbr />);<br />
Dimension dimension = toolkit.getScreenSize();<br />
frame.setSize(dimension);<br />
<br />
Of course, the os will not treat this as a maximized frame, so in general this is a poor substitute for simulating maximize. Furthermore, on Windows this technique does not respect the toolbar. There are non-portable methods using JNI which I have used to do the same on Win32.<br />
<br />
On the bright side, JDK 1.4 looks like it will provide direct support for this capability -- finally.<br />

is the simple way to mixize a JFrame. But if you want to maximize a JFrame instead of resizing it. You can use the new functions in the following link:<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
