System Tray application

Question

I am using the Java 6 feature for creating System Tray capable applications.
I have used the SystemTray.java example from Sun and this works fine.
What I need to know is how I hide the application in the Task Bar. The user would then need to click the System Tray icon, for the application, to bring the application back up again.
I look forward to someones help.

Here's what would you do in your application:
to make it disappear on minimize:
          applicationFrame.addWindowListener (new WindowAdapter () {
               public void windowIconified (WindowEvent e) {
                    setVisible (false);
          });and a mouse listener to your TrayIcon to show it again on left click:
               trayIcon.addMouseListener (new MouseAdapter () {
                    public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent e) {
                         if (e.getButton () == e.BUTTON1)
                              applicationFrame.setVisible (true);
               });And I'd suggest you to take a look here about window listeners
