How to position the form in the center screen

Question

I m a  Net developer but somehow I was task to create a simple application in java for some extra reason  I was able to create that application but my problem is how can i center the form in the screen when the application is launched    Here is my code   private void formWindowActivated java awt event WindowEvent evt                Get the size of the screen         Dimension dim   Toolkit getDefaultToolkit   getScreenSize                Determine the new location of the window         int w   this getSize   width          int h   this getSize   height          int x    dim width-w  2          int y    dim height-h  2              Move the window         this setLocation x  y       The code above works fine but the problem is I ve seen the form moving from the topleft most to center screen  I also tried adding that code in formWindowOpened event and still shows same action  Is there a better way for this  Just like in  NET Application there is a CenterScreen Position  Or if the code above is correct  on what Event will i put it   Thanks for reading this

Actually  you dont really have to code to make the form get to centerscreen   Just modify the properties of the jframe   Follow below steps to modify    right click on the form change FormSize policy to - generate resize code then edit the form position X -200 Y- 200   You re done  Why take the pain of coding

Simply set location relative to null after calling pack on the JFrame  that s it   e g      JFrame frame   new JFrame  FooRendererTest      frame setDefaultCloseOperation JFrame EXIT ON CLOSE     frame getContentPane   add mainPanel      or whatever      frame pack      frame setLocationRelativeTo null           this will center your app       frame setVisible true
