Java frame iconified issue

I am trying to figure out how to modify some existing code so that the console window that launches, starts out minimized as a tray icon instead of the default behavior which is to just open the window. Unfortunately I do not know Java, so I am having to just search Google and guess and check based on what code does make sense to me. I know this is asking a lot. I am trying my best to slowly pickup Java and I really appreciate the help. Could someone please read over this file and tell me if there is an obvious Boolean flip I need to make to change this behavior, or swap out some event handler. The code already has the provision to switch back and forth between tray icon and full window and I have made some progress by reading up on window listeners, specifically windowIconified, but I just don't have enough experience yet to really understand the changes I am making as they are not immediately obvious. The file below is one of many in this project, so if after reading you feel I am mistaken and the applicable code is missing, I can provide it. If I am properly understanding the code though, this is the file that builds out the console window, so I would assume the changes need to be made here. Thank you for any help!

          starts out minimized as a tray icon




          You need to use:



          setExtendedState(JFrame.ICONIFIED);


          when you set the other frame properties.

          • Only thing I am noticing is, the window is not closing itself out when the main program shuts down. This is a separate question obviously, but the window and or tray icon does not close upon main program closing.
