Summary: jEdit doesn't remember if maximized

Initial Comment:
jEdit 4.1pre5
Win 2000

When I start jEdit it is not ever maximized. It is
almost full size, but not maximized. And I maximize it
and quit and start again. Again, not maximized. It
should be able to to set jEdit to start in the
previously selected windows size.

Addition to my last comment:

Actually not so weird at all.

The jEdit window is not actually maximized but MS Windows
taskbar size change moved the jEdit Window to the correct
place. And jEdit can remember that position when restarted.

BUT if I use maximize button in jEdit and close it. Then
start it again, the original problem arises.

I opened my computer again today. Started jEdit. And wow, it
is maximized correclty. So the MS Windows taskbar's size
change descriped in my last comment is still working. 

This was so weird :)

I am using Java 1.4

Sun may have changed fullscreen behaviour in windows and /
or there is now a bug. 

I have not tried with 1.4.1

It seems to me that the jEdit window (at least in windows
2000 with jdk1.4) is almost maximized. The horizontal size
is correct. Vertical size is the [screen vertical size] -
[windows taskbar's size (* ] and the window is centralized
vertically (not starting from the topleft corner but about
half of the size of Windows tasbar below the topleft corner).

*) Windows's taskbar size here = Taskbar's "regular" size,
only one line of  buttons.

When I minimize Windows taskbar and set it back to "one
line" -size, the jEdit Window is positioned again and
correctly. It is positioned to the topleft corner and the
whole window is visible (no parts behind Windows taskbar).
This amazed me.

What the hell! After I changed Windows taskbar size to
minimum and back. And I closed jEdit and restarted it. Now
jEdit window is maximized correctly right after startup!!!
This haven't happened before! It may be that restarting
computer makes this fail again.

This definitely sounds like a bug to me. 


I checked new APIs for 1.4 and found this:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/awt/GraphicsDevice.html#setFullScreenWindow(java.awt.Window)

It can be used this way from for example JFrame:
GraphicsConfiguration gc;
GraphicsDevice gd;

gc = getGraphicsConfiguration();
gd = gc.getDevice();
gd.setFullScreenWindow( [[window here]] );

Maybe this could help with Java 1.4 or maybe this is just
the buggy code.

I'm also getting this problem with various versions of jEdit
using windows XP.  Me and some friends at uni have been
trying to figure this out and think it may actually be a Sun
Java problem with 2000/XP in general as a friends app also
will not remember fullscreen state in 2000/XP - however that
said there is sure to be a workaround for this.

The windows does however seem to remember it is fullscreen
SIZE however it's offest down the screen so that the status
bar is not visible, not a huge problem just an annoyance to
have to fullscreen jEdit every time its run...
