Simply create a JFrame and display it; by default frames will have an icon
visible in the task bar.

I have to design a Progress bar in java and i have to keep the progress bar in the Task bar itself.

Please tell me a Solution for that.

So, do I understand correctly: You want a new Icon or Symbolbar in the Taskbar, and this should be your progress bar? Hm, difficult one...

If you're using jdk 1.6 or later, have a look at java.awt.SysemTray. Here's some information and some links. I don't know about earlier versions of jdk, just have a look around. Searching Google with the words "Taskbar" "System Tray" and, of course, "java" might help.

That SystemTray implementation is severly broken; when it was in its prototype
stage Sun promised/suggested that Swing components could be used to populate
the darn thing. For their final version they reverted to simple AWT components
instead. A progress bar is a JComponent (Swing) which can't be properly handled
by that silly system tray.

Please Tell me is there any other way to do that

Having a progress bar in the system tray or taskbar is nearly impossible unless
you design a couple of images (icons) which you can use to make it *look* like
a progressbar. But it I were you, I'd forget about it because people would find
it strange looking and it's not conforming to any GUI style guide.

see following code for understanding basic concept only

import javax.swing.*;
 
public class JFrame01 extends JFrame {
    public static void main(String args[])     {
        JLabel emptyLabel = new JLabel("  ");
 
             // Step01    Create a object of Frame class
        JFrame frame = new JFrame(" JFrame ");
 
            // Step 02   when the frame is closes
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 
            // Step 03  Create components and put them in the frame.
        frame.getContentPane().add(emptyLabel);
 
            // Step 04. Size the frame.
        frame.pack();
 
            // Step 05. Show it.
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

That doesn't make sense: why *has* your JFrame another JFrame? That is not
an applicable example.

And what has this to do with adding a progress bar on the system tray?
