Thanks John for the reply. In the end what we did was use the WindowManager
like this:
WindowManager.getDefault().setTopComponentFloating(this, true);
/**
* This loops through all the current windows and compares this top
* components top level ancestor with the windows parent. If they
match
* the window is our view so we set the location and the size of
* the window.
*/
for (Window window : Window.getWindows()) {
if (this.getTopLevelAncestor() != null) {
if
(this.getTopLevelAncestor().getName().equals(window.getName())) {
window.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(485, 285));
window.setLocation((int)
Screen.getPrimary().getBounds().getMaxX() - 510, 110);
}
}
}
