Java - System Tray with timer

**Anthony12** · 20-07-2010

Hello,
Can someone tell how to make an icon in the Tray (for Windows and Lunix) using java programming language. I have tried some of the libraries but they are not useful. If you have to give me any third party library it would be appreciated. Thank you for your replies.

How can I write a program from the start up that it remained invisible (in the background) and the icon only would be in the system tray? If I click on the icon, the program should appear, i.e its GUI? Can you give me some advice or suggestion on this. Thank you.

Even the parent project jdic to work with the tray supplied liby WINDOWS and under linux. So I think there cross-platform is not lost, do not forget to use

Code:

SystemTray.isSupported ()

What do you have a version of JDK? The required classes must be in the delivery of six Java by default.
You can find more help here How to use the System Tray in Java?

If you need try these settings and see if it is working

Code:

C: \ Documents and Settings \  java-version 
java version "1.6.0_06" 
Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02) 
Java HotSpot (TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode, sharing)
