I am having some problems trying to interfaces to the system tray. The icon remains but I can not add an image to the icon, nor can I access the messages coming from the icon, or show a balloon message.

In this case, I think you may be much better off using SystemTray JXTrayIcon than trying to accomplish what you want to accomplish with JNA.

JXTrayIcon is an improved version of the Java 6 JTrayIcon: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/alexfromsun/archive/2008/02/jtrayicon_updat.html

The native bits have all been worked out and the code works really well. If you are running JDK or JRE 1.6.0_10 or newer, you can even use a JPopupMenu on the tray icon instead of an AWT PopupMenu. The Java 6 SystemTray class lets you display balloon messages too.

Just my US$0.02

Thanks, Steve
