Java App in Windows Toolbar?

**DimPrawn** · 28 May 2003, 14:01

When you say toolbar, do you mean the system tray in Windows (the bit on the bottom right near the clock), cos I suspect that sort of functionality is Windows specific and hence not straightforward in "run it anywhere" Java.

Easy peasy with .NET and WinForms mind

Dim, how much you charging for your superior skills? Don't be shy to say I want to make sure I don't undercut locals

thanks

cheers

so if i wanted to keep the program platorm neutral i would just write in some code to get the system properties then its just a case of the trusty If -- else. if the user hasn't got the java libraries on their system such as the swing stuff (which is unlikely for the average user) javax.swing classes would need to be packaged with the program?

just out of interest, does win xp come with the JRE now?

Atw,

A modest £400/day. Cheap as chips me, but not as tasty.

If I find you out there doing .NET dev for £7/hr I'll kick your teeth in. >:

You have been warned.

nice rate - glad for you. not going for .net market for at least a year cuz i want to gain more experience. btw, would you say vb.net would be rated a LOT lower than C#? we currently do everything in vb.net but I plan to switch to proper language in 2 months.

dont worry - next year I plan to quit working for anyone apart from myself, so I will no longer be a competitor for you and others.
