Interested in using the SystemTray efficiently?

I've written up an article, which is mainly a huge piece of code which is very easy to use so that you can design JFrames which minimize to the SystemTray and behave just as well on systems which do not support the SystemTray.

Here is the article:

Please give me your comments.

no, I'm not interested in the system tray at all. The hardware I write software for doesn't run Windows nor does it have a videocard of any kind...

Yeah pretty shameless :) But as you can see, someone has had some use of this topic!

Might as well get the most out of this sdnshare program!

So your hardware is Headless! (That's the Exception which is thrown when you try to display GUIs in such environments)

if you're stupid enough to assume there's a videocard available rather than test before trying to display that GUI...
