I am not sure if this is a bug or just my lack of JAVA GUI programming. The application that I am writing has 3 screens. Button on page 1 takes you to page a button on page 2 takes you to page 3 etc. Any way I was trying to open a shell on each page but that led to a page flickering problems. So I then decided to use StackLayout with Composite and Groups well that did the trick. My problem is however it seems that there is a bug in the JVM stack. When I try to set the size of the Composite object using
composite.setBounds(1, 1, 700, 600); no dice the screen size is defaulted as to what can be fit on the page like when Shell.pack() method has been called. However when I run the application in Eclipse everything looks fine. Just wondering if any one else came across shell sizing problems.

At the moment, I think this question would be better posed to the Jalimo mailing list. Since it's still under development, it's not yet gained traction for mainstream applications yet.
