JavaFX 2.0 window in the tray

Question

I want to create a service with a JavaFX (all-in-one) interface. When the user clicks the Close button, I want to move the application to the system tray and open it with the active use of all listeners.

Currently, I have achieved that when someone clicks the close button, the application is minimized.

Does anyone know how to transfer an application to a tray (at least on Windows systems)?

thanks

See this discussion . In short:

• Currently, the easiest way is to embed your application in AWT and use AWT to place your application on the taskbar
• This function is for JavaFX 3.0, i.e. 2013, according to the current roadmap
• The OP in this discussion uses a workaround that I have not tested, but could do what you need.
