Platform Independent Full-screen JFrame w/ Specified Resolution?

I am try to write a JFrame App which I want fullscreen (and by this I do not mean maximized), however the Application UI is very small (about 500x600) is there a possible way I could set the resolution of a fullscreen JFrame to 1024x768 that will work on Linux and Windows? I was simply using this code:

setUndecorated(true);
Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
setBounds(0,0,screenSize.width, screenSize.height);

However I could not find a way to modify the resolution and it still displays the task panel.

I am developing in eclipse on Linux Mint 14 KDE. Thanks in advance!

EDIT : I got a little further using this code:

                setUndecorated( true );
                setResizable( false );
                setAlwaysOnTop( true );
                setVisible( true );
                GraphicsEnvironment env = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
                DisplayMode dm = new DisplayMode(1024, 768, 16, DisplayMode.REFRESH_RATE_UNKNOWN);
                vc = env.getDefaultScreenDevice();
                vc.setFullScreenWindow(this);
                if (dm != null && vc.isDisplayChangeSupported()){
                    try{
                        vc.setDisplayMode(dm);
                    }catch (Exception e){
                        System.exit(0);
                    }
                }

that code was inside the contructor of my class that extends JFrame. However it does not change the resolution, it just runs at default 1080p.

If you want your JFrame to be shown on entire screen then you can use this one:

setUndecorated(true);
setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
toFront();
