There is a problem with tiling window managers and Java GUIs. The fix is to export an environment variable whose name you can find on the XMonad faq.

There's a program called "wmname" specifically designed for this: http://tools.suckless.org/wmname

Just run "wmname LG3D" then restart any open Java programs.

LG3D is "Looking Glass 3D", a Java window manager http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Looking_Glass . It's quite amusing that Java's UI toolkit contains special-cases to avoid breaking their demos.
