Is it filling the display when you use the system maximize button on the
JFrame?  Or are you trying to maximize the JFrame programmatically?

If the former, that should never happen.  If the latter, it should not
happen either, assuming you are actually maximizing the frame, as opposed
to setting the bounds for the frame to the bounds of the display.

You can maximize the frame with the following line of code:

    frame.setExtendedState( Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH );

This works on JDK 1.4 and later.
