Use Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize() to get the screen size, getSize() to get the frame size, and setLocation() to move the screen to the desired location.

setLocationRelativeTo(null);


Sai,
Actually, it works for JDialog, but the method is not defined for JFrame. Is there an equivalent?
Thanks,
Eugene.

Is JDialog a subclass of JFrame? Look at the classes that are it's parents.

Eugene,
Sorry. I wish there is one for the JFrame. You have the set absolute position for the JFrame.

Thanks you all, i wonder why sun not encapsulate that function of the class JFrame into a method , since it's so common and widely-demanded

It turns out that the setLocationRelativeTo() is a new addition to java.awt.Window (and consequently to JFrame) in JDK 1.4.
This addition actually makes perfect sense, and I think that up to 1.4, that method implementation was simply in the wrong place (JDialog instead of its immediate parent) and that's why it didn't work for JFrame.
Eugene.
