you may have to expose your java as COM objects and then create a VC++ or VB
application that adds all the typical windows application support. That
means probably doing your UI in VB or VC++ but I would consider that a plus
since the UI is native and so much faster and with bugs people will accept
(because the bugs occur in all win apps.

alternatively look for "java instsaller" on google or similar. There are
installers for java that will add all that functionality including uninstall
to your application. The fully featured versions are not always cheap though
so you may have to pay some to get it.

Hi All-

Does anybody know a good resource for utilizing specifc aspects of Windows 
in a Java application. I am looking for a way to include a program icon in 
the Windows System Tray as well as to modify the file types to include a 
file of the type I am deploying.

Thanks in advance,

Kyle
