As the title suggests, we have a Java (Swing) desktop application, and we’d like to be able to have some basic access to the Jump Lists (in the new Windows 7 taskbar).
In particular, we’d like to be able to add some “user tasks” to the jump list–the ability to start other modules in our application, maybe to close all running modules, etc.
I know that we could do this using JNI or JNA and the C API described here, but that is our option of last resort. I’m hoping that there might be an easier way–something that Sun has already implemented, or maybe a third party library or something.
Google is no help so far. Anyone else have any ideas?
There is a Java library providing the new Windows 7 features for Java. It’s called J7Goodies by Strix Code. You can create your own jump lists with it. Of course it supports “users tasks” too.
