JDK-8091107 - Add java.awt.Desktop support to javafx
Description
Umbrella issue.

Starting from Vista, Windows supports several features related to taskbar: progress indicator, context menus, pinning, groupping. To make JavaFX be good Windows citizen, it would be fine to expose these features to JavaFX API.

Yes, I think so. I closed it as a duplicate.

Pretty much all of the things you might want to do with the taskbar can be done natively via JNA, but only if you have the native window handle (hWnd) for your stages. Thus it would be really nice if JavaFX offered users access to the native window handle. Even if nothing else is ever done to expose the other taskbar features in the JavaFX APIs, having access to the native window handle still opens up a huge amount of additional functionality for developers. -------- For now, there's an (ugly) workaround. You can obtain the native window handle by using reflection, as described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15034407/how-can-i-get-the-window-handle-hwnd-for-a-stage-in-javafx

Artem, as all developers are too busy to implement so big features, is that possible to make some stub about this - a native access, or like that?

Also, if there were a way to obtain the window handle (hWnd) for a JavaFX Stage, that would open up a large number of possibilities for customizing how JavaFX applications can interact with the Windows 7/8 Taskbar. Once you have the hWnd, you can use JNA to do all sorts of useful stuff. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd378460(v=vs.85).aspx
