Title Body

Edit: The question follows the horizontal rule; my own answer precedes it. Based on help from Oscar Reyes , I crafted this solution: import javax.swing.JOptionPane; import javax.swing.JFrame; public class MyApp extends JFrame { public static void main(String [] args) { new MyApp(); } public MyApp() { super("MyApp"); setUndecorated(true); setVisible(true); setLocationRelativeTo(null); String i = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(this, "Enter your name:", getTitle(), JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE); if(null != i) { JOptionPane.showInputDialog(this, "Your name is:", getTitle(), JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, null, null, i.concat(i)); } dispose(); } } Notice I display my output in a JOptionPane.showInputDialog also. This way the output is highlighted in a text field so I can simply press CTRL + C to copy the output to the system clipboard and them press ESC to dismiss the application. I've created a trivial GUI for my trivial application. My application prompts for a single input with a JOptionPane.showInputDialog , performs a calculation, and then displays a single output with a JOptionPane.showMessageDialog . I sometimes switch to a maximized browser window or something else to copy from, and then want to switch back to my JOptionPane dialog to paste into. I want to have my JOptionPane dialog show up as a task on the taskbar so I could switch to it like nearly any other running program. I prefer JOptionPane's simplicity, rather than having to create a JFrame, a FlowLayout, an Icon, a JTextField, a JButton, an ActionListener, and so on, and so on. Can JOptionPane show up as a task on the taskbar? If so, how do I get it to show up? If
