I have noticed a few windows apps displaying progress as a moving
green tide on the icon on the task bar.  This lets you monitor
progress of a minimised app.

It would be nice if some of Java apps did that.

Is there anything in the Java API that hooks up to it?
is there a jni lib?

here is some info on how it works under .net in Windows 7
