Hi folks
I wonder someone has any idea how to solve this:

In my Java Eclipse plugin there are some processes which take some time. Therefore the user might minimize the window and let the process run in the background.
Now, when the process is finished, I can force the window to come to the top again, but that is a no-no in usability. I'd rather want the process to blink in the taskbar instead. Is there any way to achieve this?

I had a look at the org.eclipse.jface.window but could'nt find anything like that, same goes for the SWT documentation...

Another thing which came to my mind - as people are using this app on mac os x and linux as well, is there a platform independant solution, which will inform the user that the process has finished but without bringing the window to the top?

Any ideas are highly welcome!

Edit:
I found out that on windows the user can adjust whether he would like to enable a force to foreground or not. If that option is disabled, the task will just blink in the taskbar...
Here's a good read on that...

If anyone maybe knows about some platform independant way of achieving this kind of behaviour, please share your knowledge with me!
