JTray - Usage Instructions

JTray Documentation

JTray supports Windows 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, and Vista
Non-windows operating systems are not supported
JTray requires the inclusion of native DLL files with your java application. These files must be located in either the current working directory or on the system path of the machine.

To add the JTray classes to your project, simply add the included jar file to your classpath. Some IDEs refer to this as libraries on the Java build path of your project. You can then build your project and include the JTray classes with your application distributables.

There are numerous free java obfuscators available. We recommend ProGuard. For JTray to work, some classes and methods must not be obfuscated. Below is an example of a proguard obfuscation file you could use with JTray.

-libraryjars <java.home>\lib\rt.jar
-injars      myapp_pre.jar
-outjar      myapp.jar

# keep all native method names and the names of their classes
-keepclasseswithmembernames class * {
    native <methods>;
}

# keep class name JTrayManager
-keepnames class com.jpackages.jtray.JTrayManager

# keep method notifyCallback
-keep class com.jpackages.jtray.JTrayManager {
  private void notifyCallback(int, int, int, int);
}
