I am trying to force a window to stay on top of all other windows, I have
tried the following code, but it doesn't work:

   addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
    {
      public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e)
      {
        show();
      }
    });

The best example I can think of that demonstrates this functionality that I
require is the Windows NT/2000 Task Manager, you can open the task manager
and it will stay on top of all of the other windows and you can still use
all of the other windows.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this in java?


Thanks, Steve
