title: Make JFace Window blink in taskbar or get users attention?
body: <p>I wonder someone has any idea how to solve this:<p>
  In my Java Eclipse plugin there are some processes which take some time. Therefore the user might <b>minimize the window</b> and let the <b>process run in the background</b>.<br>
  Now, when the <b>process is finished</b>, I can force the window to come to the top again, but that is a no-no in usability. I'd rather want the process to <b>blink</b> in the <b>taskbar</b> instead. Is there any way to achieve this?<p>
  I had a look at the <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jface/window/Window.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">org.eclipse.jface.window</a> but could'nt find anything like that, same goes for the SWT documentation...<p>
  Another thing which came to my mind - as people are using this app on <b>mac os x </b>and <b>linux </b>as well, is there a <b>platform independant solution</b>, which will inform the user that the process has finished but without bringing the window to the top?
  <p>
  <b>Any ideas are highly welcome!</b><p>
  <b>Edit:</b><br>
  I found out that on windows the user can adjust whether he would like to enable a force to foreground or not. If that option is disabled, the task will just blink in the taskbar...<br>
  Here's a good <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2315560/how-do-you-force-a-java-swt-program-to-move-itself-to-the-foreground">read</a> on that...<p>
  If anyone maybe knows about some platform independant way of achieving this kind of behaviour, please share your knowledge with me!</p>
