Sub Tasks

Description
The problem is reproducible when I'm using an external monitor as primary display (and MacBook Pro as secondary display). When I run SwingSet2, the main window appears on the primary screen. Then I open a FileDialog (click on the FileChooserDemo tab and click on the "Show Plain JFileChooser" button) and expect to see a FileDialog on the primary screen but it appears on the secondary screen.

EVALUATION

The cause of the issue is that nativeGetScreenNSWindowIsOn_AppKitThread (AWTWindow.m) returns hard-coded value.
