Java, VLC, Fullscreen mode

Hi all,

I would like to write a Java program that will play some video clips depends on user's input.
It works with Runtime.getRuntime().exec and pass several command line option to vlc.
However, there is a small problem: every call to exec, the java program start a new vlc player and that will mess up the fullscreen mode (sometimes fullscreen, sometimes with the pannel).
What I want is to open a default video clip in fullscreen mode, play it and remain in fullscreen mode when finish, so the background screen will not be showed. Play other clips in the same mode.
I guess it would be possible to do that when setting the player to run as deamon process, but it did not work. (system = Fedora core 5)

Any idea how to do that? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Best regards,

Nguyen
