----------------------------------------------------------------
Note that in my Linux VM (ubuntu-10.04.x, with latest JDK 6 from Oracle), I had
already set (ok, it was wrong in the test bxml to exit calling System.exit ...
now is fixed) 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/
anyway could be useful to someone, just to remember this trick.
Note that on the save maximized flag at exit there could be something other to
fix, I have to look better ...
Ok, there is nothing to fix on this, all is good, but the trick is this:
after the first time an application is executed maximized, when exiting this
status is saved (if still maximized), but at a next execution, even if the
maximized flag is NOT passed, it is loaded from Java preferences, so it will be
maximized again ... the workaround here is to remove its maximized status (for
example with double clicking the title bar) and exit so the new status will be
saved (and loaded next times), unless someone explicitly set the maximized flag.

> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: wtk
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: Ubuntu 11.04 (2.6.38-10-generic), java-6-sun-1.6.0.26
> Reporter: Tomas Stenlund
> Assignee: Sandro Martini
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.3

> 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.
