Add Windows Taskbar or services option

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Enhancement: Provide the option to start the RemoteDroidServer running in
the Windows taskbar, to avoid Start Menu clutter.

Functionality is a part of Java 6 using the following packages:

java.awt.SystemTray
java.awt.TrayIcon

I've already done this, but it was part of a massive refactoring to make it 
work how I wanted so can't really just post it just as a patch.

Have attached the latest code that I am using - this runs as a system tray icon 
with a context menu to show a log of current activity and the option to close 
the server.

I simply run the Java on Startup and it works fine - no more annoying window!

Could you provide us with the compiled RemoteDroidServer.jar? I'm a total 
newbie and don't know how to turn that zip package into an executable jar file. 
Thanks!

The jar file is inside the zip file already. You start it with java -jar 
RemoteDroidSerr.jar

I really can't find the .jar file inside the zip file klankenstein posted. They 
are mostly .class and .java files but none of them is executable.

Im fairly ceartain the zip file was mistakingly uploaded, im not seeing any 
tray code in it.  Also not seeing the jar either.  However I think some of the 
project members are actively looking into tray support.  If i make any progress 
ill keep posted.

Did anything happen to this issue?

I would just like to make a small point regarding this issue.

Ubuntu is transitioning away from the system tray, and building the Application 
Indicator menus instead 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators). 

This means that any work done to add RemoteDroidServer to the system tray will 
be ineffective for both Mac and soon Ubuntu. The only common method of task 
management between the 3 platforms is now the solely taskbar. It is important 
to maintain legacy behaviour to ensure cross-platform compatibility.

So what do I do if I am not going to ever use Ubuntu, only windows but want to 
get rid of that window? I can't seem to figure out a way to hide it and I can't 
really find any info about how to hide it. Could someone please show me how to 
make it hide, or run as a system service? Please!?!?!

I also really love to see the "nowindow" option be implemented :)

I wanna run this in my media-pc (yaVDR) and use my phone as a remote.
