The documentation is in the usual place

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Window.html#setAlwaysOnTop(boolean)

It also says that this method has been available only since java 1.5
and so apparently is not yet implemented in gnu classpath.

I believe the best you can do is to fill a wishlist bug in gnu
classpath's BTS and maybe also ask on classpath's mailing list about
possible replacements (altough I can't really imagine any direct
replacement for that kind of functionality).

I wouldn't really be surprised if it was mostly a matter of mapping this
method to a GTK function that does exactly the same thing.

HTH a bit,

And let me use the occasion to thank you guys for providing such a great
development platform as SNAP!

I can reveal that we've got quite a few new things already developed
internally that are only waiting for merge into the SableVM mainline
(JVMDI/JDWP support, finalization, phantom/weak/soft references, and
others, not to mention pending release of SableVM SDK).  I am sure
you'll like them, and we'll be all eagerly waiting to see them used in
next SNAP releases :)
