How can I get Desktop size?

I can get Screen size using DefaultToolkit.getScreenSize()
but, How can I get Desktop size which is the Screen size without taskbar in the window?

Under Java 1.4 you could use

frame.show();
frame.setExtendedState(Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
Dimension size = frame.getSize();

This should return the right values for you.

Or, easier and works in earlier versions:

Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

The code below won't work correctly if you are using the new setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated method.

Last week I was looking for the same thing, and didn't think of the Toolkit at all. Thank you for pointing this out, and I'll try that. However, instead, I wrote the following

    DisplayMode dMode      = null;

        GraphicsConfiguration gc = getGraphicsConfiguration();
        GraphicsDevice        gd = gc.getDevice();
        dMode = gd.getDisplayMode();

    int width = dMode.getWidth();
    int height = dMode.getHeight();
