Is it possible to put a java application into a full screen graphics mode?

I am interested in game programming, but am not sure if java can do it all.

Thanks,

Steve

Check out "Meatfighter" at www.meatfighter.com. It uses fullscreen
graphics, which became available as of Java 1.4. Its source is GPL'ed.

Signature

Check out QueryForm, a free, open source, Java/Swing-based
front end for relational databases.

I am not quite sure I understand you..

For graphics modes, you might best look into
either Java3D or JAI, J3D allows access
to both DirectX and OpenGL libraries,
and JAI is ..related to imaging (dunno if it's
even slightly relevant)

Does that give you some ideas?

Yes. See J2SE 1.4.x standard documentation from Sun.

Yes it is.
