Minimize to System Tray In Windows

[shapeshifter]

Does anybody know how to make an app to have a "minimize to tray" feature?....
I want to remove the minimized button on the task bar & put it in the system tray so that the app is not mixed with other general stuff.....
Please Help......

public class SysTray {

private static Image getImage() throws HeadlessException {

        Icon defaultIcon = MetalIconFactory.getTreeComputerIcon();

        Image img = new BufferedImage(defaultIcon.getIconWidth(),

                defaultIcon.getIconHeight(),

                BufferedImage.TYPE_4BYTE_ABGR);

        defaultIcon.paintIcon(new Panel(), img.getGraphics(), 0, 0);

return img;

    }

private static PopupMenu createPopupMenu() throws

                                                 HeadlessException {

        PopupMenu menu = new PopupMenu();

MenuItem exit = new MenuItem("Exit");

        exit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

           public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

               System.exit(0);

           }

        });

        menu.add(exit);

return menu;

    }

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        TrayIcon icon = new TrayIcon(getImage(),

                "This is a Java Tray Icon", createPopupMenu());

        icon.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

           public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,

                       "Bring Java to the Desktop app");

           }

        });

        SystemTray.getSystemTray().add(icon);

        while(true) {

            Thread.sleep(10000);

            icon.displayMessage("Warning", "Click me! =)",

                TrayIcon.MessageType.WARNING);

        }

    }

}
