There's no dedicated API to open a window on another screen, you simply
need to set the x/y coordinates. To find out abou screens you need to
use the Screen-API.

It might be that we add API for Screen managing eg when you shutdown you
application in a 2 screen setup but restore it on a 1 screen setup we
will make sure to position the screens back to visible area instead of
keeping them off-screen.

Thanks for this; when window are already open, to "move it" i do:

windowActive.setX( (int)Screen.getScreens().get( 1 ).getVisualBounds().getMinX() );
windowActive.setY( (int)Screen.getScreens().get( 1 ).getVisualBounds().getMinY() );
windowActive.setRenderer( windowActive.getRenderer() );

But when I want to maximize window i try to

windowActive.getTags().add( "shellMaximized" );

and i have to do:

windowActive.setToBeRendered( false );
windowActive.setToBeRendered( true );

Is there any other option to maximized it?
Unfortunately even the window are moved to second screen, they are maximized on first screen... (i suppose, that one option is set x/y/width/height, not shellMazimized - am i right?).

Regards

It looks like we are not tracking the tag you should not need to flip
the rendering. Please file a bug.

I guess the problem is one of the order, we first set the maximized flag
before setting the x/y so the window is maximized at the wrong screen.

Please file a bug for that as well!

So windowActive.setRenderer( windowActive.getRenderer() ); is good practice to move window (after ser new x/y coordinates)?

No - this should never be required or better said it is just plain wrong
because the renderer has to be handled by the framework it's not up to
you to modify it!
