I'm now left wondering how JBuilder does it. :-)

That would be a lot cleaner.  Actually, when I first learned Java back
in
the 1.0 days I was horrified to learn that it didn't have a way to
simply
maximise a window.  It's amazing that they *still* haven't implemented
it in
the AWT/Swing libraries. :-(
