> but you might need to do some JNI wrappers to call stuff like system tray

I don't do much desktop programming, but I think that the system tray has had support in Java for many years now:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/systemt...



Not if you want the Windows 10 stuff.

And that whole JDesktop stuff from Sun is unfortunately unmaintained since years (still left to rotten under Sun's stewardship).


Ah. Well, now that Microsoft have said they want to contribute to OpenJDK, maybe you could persuade them to do something about that.


It would be nice I guess.

I like both platforms anyway.
