In Windows 7/8 on certain apps, on the taskbar, I would like to show the progress of a task that is running in that application. Is there a way, in Java, to retrieve that progress from a running application?

Thanks in advance!

    I don't think there is a java-only way to do that, but I do know what you are talking about. [This thing, right](http://i.imgur.com/DehLX5t.png)? – Pokechu22 Nov 06 '14 at 00:00
  • You need to provide a JNI/JNA bridge which allows you access to the native OS APIs. There is a 3rd party library which can do this, but you will pay through the teeth for it... – MadProgrammer Nov 06 '14 at 00:02
  • @MadProgrammer Alright. Thanks. Let me know if you find a free alternative – dylanpdx Nov 06 '14 at 00:52

    SWT can do this (of course using native components), but it is certainly not very straightforward... – meskobalazs Jan 03 '15 at 16:05
