I'm newbie in Java so I deicide make an application use "java desktop application" in Netbeans. It creates 3 file (ProjectNameAboutBox.java (JFrame Form), ProjectNameApp.java, ProjectNameView.java (JFrame Form and all my code in this file)).
Now, I want to ask how can I hide and restore this application when run? I already made a systemTray for it
Thank you
Simply frame.setVisible(false) to hide and frame.setVisible(true) to show.

I have made a Java Application on Eclipse on my MacBook Pro. The GUI is made using FXML. How do I create an icon on my desktop that I can click and it launches the First GUI Screen of my application? Thanks.
Edit: I want it so that I click on an icon on my desktop, and it immediately launches my program and the first screen of the GUI opens and is ready to go.
I've been creating GUIs using Jigloo for a game and I've run into a problem.
I would like one of my GUIs to have some properties that the JOptionPane has but I don't know how to describe it properly.
The JOptionPane, when open, doesn't allow a user to access the other open windows. It gives a ping sound and flash the JOptionPane window.
Is there a name for that? Also can I put that onto one of my GUI windows?
Thanks in advance
The JOptionPane uses a modal dialog. See How to Use Modality in Dialogs for details.
Friends i am trying to develope a desktop application it's requirement is
1.It should have 2 browse button after clicking on that file open box should appear like
jfilechooser in swing
2 Then i have to select that file and require it's url for future use.
3.My application contains just 2 buttons and on clicking on that i want to call a function that compare that file(logic for that i already written)
4.I am using eclipse for that
so overall i can say my application is simple so what should i use javafx or swing for gui?
if any other conveniant option is present please tell me.please give me option which are open source
You could implement it using Swing.
If you want it to be on a variety of devices (desktops, mobile or browsers) then choose JavaFX.
If u require rich look and feel in your application,use JavaFx.Otherwise Swing is also good.
I am currently working on a research project for a University in which I am doing GUI interactions with my database and launching an external program based on the data. I'm using runtime commands (once the OS is detected) to launch that external program with the selected data.
My question is how can I embed an external program's GUI inside a Java frame, if that is even remotely possible?
Given the clarifying comments on the question, the short answer is "no, you can't do that".
Java cannot display a native program's GUI within a JFrame, even if the target program was actually architected to allow it's GUI to be presented within another program's frame.
Are you using a console application? You have to intercept its stdout to do it correctly. So you can show the text that the 3rd party application is outputting in an UI control that you can put into JFrame.
It depends from the application you want to embed to the JFrame, but you can try to use jawt:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/specs/AWT_Native_Interface.html
You will be able to get the native OS specific window handle and can draw on top of it, or can you use it as a container. Note that only HW components are supported, so you will need to add Panel/Canvas to the JFrame and then use that for your native app.
This is similar to this question:
Native JNI/JAWT Swing application runs successfully on Java 6, but fails on Java 7 (64-bit Windows 7 OS)
Use java.lang.Process or java.lang.Runtime.exec.

I have a Java program that runs from command prompt / blueJ's terminal window fine.
Is there a way that I can run this from a browser?
I guess my question is, is there anything that simulates the terminal window in a browser?
If not, do you have a suggestion as to how to put this online? It uses scanner / system.out.println a lot.
Thank you
There are two main technologies for helping publish a Java application via a browser:
Applets (displays inside a browser, kind of like Flash)
Java Web Start (launches via browser, but then runs and displays in a separate window.)
It most most common to use Swing to develop the user interface of an Applet or Java Web Start application. So it might be interesting to read about how to emulate a console window in Swing.
I'm not sure if this helps, but when you access a website that uses Java, with your browser, you can decide to see the Java console, if you have it enabled in your Java settings. But only people with that option turned on will get to see it.
Otherwise you could use javascript to incorporate results into the html of the page, or maybe make an applet with a "console" included.
You can embed in an applet, not only GUI you can use applets to invoke any method. And you can view console view ,[ Java Icon pops up on system tray bar in windows,on right clicking on the java icon, you can view console ]
