JFrame.setExtendedState and Windows

Hi there!

Is it true that setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH) does not work for a JFrame
under Windows (XP in my case)?

The other constant (namely ICONIFIED) works flawlessly, but any form of
MAXIMIZED_* is ignored by my program.

Is this a common problem with Java and Windows or could my code be at fault?

Thanks a lot!

Found it myself.

For anyone with the same problem:
You have to call
frame.setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH) _after_ you call
frame.setVisible(true)
