Need Tomcat Java Windows on top of native windows

I have a web app that consists of a java bean running behind a JSP in 
Tomcat. The bean communicates with the client via the JSP, but it also 
pops up a swing GUI on the server under certain conditions. I need the 
JFrame window to be on top of all windows running on the server. There 
are several swing methods that I can call to do this, but they all have 
platform-dependent behavior. On Windows XP the JFrame behaves as 
desired, but on Mac OSX the JFrame draws itself on top of other windows 
in the JVM, but native windows remain on top of all JVM windows.

Given the behavior of the swing methods, I'm wondering if I can resolve 
this at the JVM-OS interface. Is there a way to configure Tomcat so that 
any windows it launches in the JVM ride on top of all native windows?
