title: Adding a contribution to the windows task bar in java - similar to laptop battery widgets
body: <p>I am trying to make a contribution to the windows task bar so when i minimize my app it docks itself into the windows task bar , the best way of describing this is by looking at a picture I have drawn:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/aCJrh.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/aCJrh.jpg" alt="alt text"></a>
  </p>
  
  <p>If anybody knows if this is possible or how to do it please let me know.</p>
  
  <p>I am well aware of the ability to add an icon to the system tray - but this is slightly different.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance, </p>
  
  <p>Andy</p>
