I tested this long time ago when i was working on providing a stereo mode for my app (wanted to go FS then stereo)...
never got an exclusive FS. with AWT.

Hi!
@Rami Santina
AWT has some sort of FSEM support in java.awt.GraphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(Window w):
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/exclusivemode.html
Maximizing the window and making it undecorated is a kind of software simulated fullscreen mode which is used as a fallback solution when the real FSEM is not supported on a given platform.
An employee of Oracle who works on AWT confirmed me by email that it is a real bug and it is quite easy to fix.
@Sven Do you allow us to use your source code in AWT please? This bug drives GLCanvas unusable for fullscreen games on some machines (except by using ALT+F3 and enabling the fullscreen in the advanced menu).
