I poked into irex java sdk code contained in "irex.jar" and have found no clue to make toolbar or pagebar disappear.
I found that toolbar and pagebar are controlled through IPC (should be interprocess call or something) provided by OS. Java code calls for a reset or refresh when needed. Therefore, the drawable screen for JVM is 768*935 in the start, and no way for a Java app to make displayable area increase.
Actually, I don't see any evidence that JVM denies or disallows to do so. The problem is that I can't find an API to make them disappear. I have found a way to add icon or delete icon on toolbar, but I can't make it disappear and increse the iLiad Frame size.

Java is a monster hungering for memory. Don't expect too much on Java to do fancy processing on iLiad. It's limited because of iLiad on support Java PBP (too few image api), and the 64 mb memory.
