How to place the application's original window?

[Ramon F Herrera]

When a jDialog is created, the calling class sets in advance
the place where the new windows should appear (see code below).
The original window, however, is sort of "parent-less", so how
can I specify the root window's location?

Thanks,

//Help | About action performed
public void jMenuHelpAbout_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Frame1_AboutBox dlg = new Frame1_AboutBox(this);
Dimension dlgSize = dlg.getPreferredSize();
Dimension frmSize = getSize();
Point loc = getLocation();
dlg.setLocation( (frmSize.width - dlgSize.width) / 2 + loc.x,
(frmSize.height - dlgSize.height) / 2 + loc.y);
dlg.setModal(true);
dlg.pack();
dlg.show();
}

For me, the name of the root window is NewDraw, and
this works for me.
Point loc = NewDraw.window.getLocationOnScreen();

How about something like

Dimension dim = getToolkit().getScreenSize();
Rectangle abounds = getBounds();
this.setLocation((dim.width - abounds.width) / 2, (dim.height -
abounds.height) / 2);

This sets it in the middle of the screen. However it is trivial to use
something similar to set it wherever you want.

Cheers
