Hi ya all.
Am creating an application that should display a Floating dock window like the windows taskbar. It should never be obscured by other windows. Now, The JDIC project has developed an API for this that is in incubation but problem is it only works for linux and my app should be platform independent. is there another way of going around this? Am thinking an API in another language e.g a dll done in c++ then I can use the JNI.
