Assume java 1.6 and leopard. Ideally, it would also be nice to get a list of all supported resolutions and the current resolution. If this isn't possible in java, is there some way to do it that could be called from java?

    GraphicsDevice[] devices = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment()
        .getScreenDevices();
    for (int i = 0; i < devices.length; i++) {
        GraphicsDevice dev = devices[i];
        System.out.println("device " + i);
        DisplayMode[] modes = dev.getDisplayModes();
        for (int j = 0; j < modes.length; j++) {
            DisplayMode m = modes[j];
            System.out.println(" " + j + ": " + m.getWidth() + " x " + m.getHeight());
        }
    }

With this code you can determine the current resolution. On my system (SuSE linux) it does NOT output the possible resolutions.

Seems to work an Mac and Windows.
