Java Web Start on Secondary Monitor
Hello,
I am testing my JWS app with a multi-monitor setup. When I drag my browser window over to the second monitor, and launch my application, the Java Console opens in the second monitor, but my application opens in the user's default monitor. I was wondering if anyone knows how my application can figure out what monitor it was launched from. I am hopeful because the Java Console opens in the right monitor.
Thanks for any help.

yes - you can use sun.awt.GraphicsEnvironment class to determine what Screen the mouse is on:
Rectangle getBoundsOfThisScreen() {
GraphicsDevice[] devices = GraphicsEnvironment.
getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getScreenDevices();
for (int i=0; i<devices.length; i++) {
Rectangle bounds =
devices[i].getDefaultConfiguration().getBounds();
//check to see if the mouse cursor is within these bounds
if (mousePoint.x >= bounds.x && mousePoint.y >= bounds.y
&& mousePoint.x <= (bounds.x + bounds.width)
&& mousePoint.y <= (bounds.y + bounds.height)) {
//this is it
return bounds;
}
}
// you are nowhere ?
return new Rectangle(0,0,0,0);
}
Then you can position window relative to those bounds.
