Correct me if I am wrong, but none of the discussions
involve *setting* the operating system's screen resolution.
Rather, they involve *getting* the screen resolution, and making
adjusting something like a frame size and/or location (e.g.,
centered) to the current user setting.

For operating system specific control like this, you
would have to write Windows native code (using Delphi,
C, C++ ...), put it in a DLL, and use JNI to access
that external module from within your Java code.

Ditto for what Paul and Paul said.  And, you might want to take a look 
at the Java Desktop Integration Components (JDIC)

https://jdic.dev.java.net/

I'm quite sure that they don't have exactly what you are looking for, 
but I would try to work within that framework, because that's exactly 
the reason it was created.

You will be much better off trying to do this by calling the Windows System
API, which means native code, or JNI at least.
