The way I do this is set up the application as an appletcation, which is a hybrid of an application and an applet. You will also need to extend JApplet and use this AdapterClass shown below.
Below the AdapterClass here is a sample appletcation you can use as a guide. I do not know if this is the easiest way to do this, but I do know that it works. If anyone knows of an easier way I would like to know. Thanks!!!
