Re: KDE SystemTray

Hi,

well, in the first feature list of Java 6, I have seen, it
was mentioned that system tray icons are only supported for
Windows. Seeing that
Java should be platfrom independent, this is not glorious
for Sun. But it seems that Sun has changed this fact. I hope
once it will work for
all OS.

But currently I'm using an external lib for the system tray
named "jdic" (https://jdic.dev.java.net/
). I think it's the most popular library
for system tray icons. It's also platform independent and
the project is already some years old.

You can find another implementation of the system tray icon
in the project "tvbrowser" (http://tvbrowser.org/).
They have written their own
tray icon classes. It's also OS independent.

I hope I could help you.

Regards,
Stefan

Java7 - 1.5 years?

thanx alot, i will try tvbrowser! but jdic is not
platform-independent, i cant run it on x86_64 machine, it
builded only for x86. may be there is way to build it for
x64?
i know one more lib in qt-jambi, but it is too heavy...
