SWT Multiple Monitor Support on Solaris?

Question

I am writing an application in Java using SWT. On our Solaris machines, we have multiple monitor setups, but they are treated in isolation by the operating system. This means I can't open the application and drag it to another monitor. The right-click context menu doesn't even allow me to change the monitor the application is displayed on.

What I want to do is provide a way for the user to "send" all or part of my SWT shell to another monitor. How can I do this?

Additional Information A call to Display.getMonitors() returns Monitor[] but the length is 1 (when it should be 2 or 3 or ... N monitors.)

Answer 1

What eclipse version are you using?

According to bug 209039, "this" (i.e. "Display.getMonitors() returning only one monitor") is fixed since 3.4M4 for SWT on Solaris.

As mentioned by Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen in the comments, eclipse3.4.2 is available on OpenSolaris.
