Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-781:
--------------------------------------
Note that in my Linux VM (ubuntu-10.04.x, with latest JDK 6 from Oracle), I had
already set (probably from some previous test, I have to look better who if
saving here) under Java user preferences
($USER_HOME/.java/.userPrefs/org/apache/pivot/ ) a maximized = true flag, so
even when not specifying --maximized=true in command line arguments to my test
case I had some wrong behaviour (in the main() inside
DesktopApplicationContext, Java preferences are loaded before command line
flags).
So before proceeding with this fix I had to delete that folder, with:
rm -r .java/.userPrefs/org/apache/pivot/
Maybe this could be another thing to see later ... anyway could be useful to
someone, just to remember this trick.

> When using --maximized=true when starting a desktop application with
> DesktopApplicationContext.main(class, args) under the environment described.
> It works under Windows 7.
> Chris Bartlet found out that there is a Java bug for this issue
> (setExtendedState in DesktopApplicationContext) and suggested a workaround
> (calling it twice, once before and once after if not already in that state)
> before Java 7 is established. It seems it will not be fixed for Java 6 by sun
> (oracle).

> Java bug 6365898 - fixed in Java 7
> http://download.java.net/jdk7/changes/jdk7-b14.html
> This looks like it should be the right URL, but it is not bringing anything up
> http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6365898
> Google has it cached though
> http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Abugs.sun.com+6365898
> If the workaround is as simple as it seems to be, then I think it
> would be worth including along with a reference to the bug and a TODO
> to remove it once Java 7 is more established, or if Pivot later
> requires Java 7.
