Java JFrame Gets Minimized On Additional Screen

Question

I'm creating an application that can run on two monitors. For that I created 2 JFrames. The first is my client application that will display information only i have to see. The second (lets call it TweetForm) is a jframe that will show information everybody can see. (probable monitor will be a TV). I've searched how to put this on two seperate screens and found the following solution: Show JFrame in a specific screen in dual monitor configuration

this works just fine, BUT: whenever i'm focus something on my 'mainmonitor' the tweetForm which is displaying on the TV gets minimized. How can I prevent the jframe from minimizing and always be displayed? (even though the first jframe is minimized or not)

CODE FROM 2nd JFRAME

/**
 * Creates new form TweetForm
 */
public TweetForm()  
{
    initComponents();
    dispose();
    setUndecorated(true);
    pack();
    setExtendedState(Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
    setTitle("Serious Request");
    this.setAlwaysOnTop(true);

    showOnScreen(1, this);
}

public static void showOnScreen( int screen, JFrame frame )
{
    GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment
        .getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
    GraphicsDevice[] gs = ge.getScreenDevices();
    if( screen > -1 && screen < gs.length )
    {
        gs[screen].setFullScreenWindow( frame );
    }
    else if( gs.length > 0 )
    {
        gs[0].setFullScreenWindow( frame );
    }
    else
    {
        throw new RuntimeException( "No Screens Found" );
    }
}

Use only one JFrame. Make the other one as JDialog and update data in dialog with respect to you frame.
