How can iconify/deiconify a window in Java?
• A.There is no way in Java today to write code to force a window to iconify or deiconify. There is a way (tested on Windows and UNIX) to achieve this effect that involves creating and destroying peers, but it is not recommended. You can drop into native code to do it. The “party line” in JavaSoft is that it is because Java is an application language, not a window manager. Everyone wishes they’d add it.
