java.awt.Taskbar

public class Taskbar
extends Object
The Taskbar class allows a Java application to interact with the system task area (taskbar, Dock, etc.).

There are a variety of interactions depending on the current platform such as displaying progress of some task, appending user-specified menu to the application icon context menu, etc.

Implementation Note:
Linux support is currently limited to Unity. However to make these features work on Unity, the app should be run from a .desktop file with specified java.desktop.appName system property set to this .desktop file name: Exec=java -Djava.desktop.appName=MyApp.desktop -jar /path/to/myapp.jar see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
