Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
A resizable JDialog should maximize if you double-click on the title bar, like a resizable Windows-Dialog.

JUSTIFICATION :
If a dialog is resizable, it should be possible to maximize it easily, without pulling on the edges.
Comments
EVALUATION Current implementation disallows maximizing of Dialogs on Windows (WS_MAXIMISEBOX style is not set for dialogs). This mimics native dialogs behaviour (see resizable FileOpen dialog for example). On some other platforms (KDE for example) resizable dialogs always have maximize buttons.
