java window not expanding on mac - possible code to expand window?

[Vixanna]

Hello, I have a java program that runs/looks fine in windows however the "window" or the area of the screen containing the program remains small when viewing on a mac. The small size is causing fields to be truncated. For example part of the date of birth is not visible. I have googled the issue and noticed that users of yahoo games are having the same issue with java and macs. The reason I posted this in the java forums is I was wondering if there is any java code I can include to force the window to expand on a mac? The mac I am testing this on has the Lion os and java version (well apple's version) 634. Thank You for your help, Vix

I believe you can detect the type of OS and VM by looking at the system variables. Look at System.getenv() or System.getProperties(). Just enumerate through either list to see what is in there.

Following on from jschell's answer the values that will be most useful are

os.arch
os.name
os.version

which are returned by the System.getProperties() method.
