not able to set JFrame size , developing using Eclipse

Hi,
I hope some one can tell me what i am doing wrong

here is what i am doing

i am getting the screen size, using the defaultToolkit,

and setting my JFrame size to the same size as that returned by that method(defaulttoolkit.getscreensize)

but my frame takes on a fixed size that is very small

i changed its size to double the screen size, but still it had the same original size,

i need help urgetnly please!!!

I am using Eclipse IDE. and i not at all familiar with it either!!!!
Please i would really appreciate someones help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are you setting the screensize?
Cause I had a similar problem when developing in NetBeans, so I have overridden the setVisible method and put it in there.

Code:

---

public void setVisible(boolean state)
{
  this.setScreenSize();
  super(state);
}

---

This solved the problem for me.

Hi,
thanks for ur reply
i did that but still it keeps showing the frame at a small size,
i have overridden the set visible method and written teh screen size, but still the same thing happens

and this is a problem when runnign the application or when working with it in Eclipse itself?

That is what i dont know,
becasue i have developed swing applcations before and never had this problem,

is there something in eclipse that causes this to happen??

if i create a panel and add it to the frame and set the preferered size for the panel then it is showing at the size that i give,

but if i set the size for the frame it is not reflected at runtime!!!!
