i.e one that is..
transparent and undecorated so unable to close with the x or minimise
always underneath everything else, i.e fixed to the desktop
Thanks

A JWindow, with no default close operation?

How would I ensure it never had focus and remained underneath everything, i.e pinned to the desktop?
Thanks

What about with the Google Web Toolkit. That's Java based, and it does Widgets. They're not just browser-based though, are they?
Also, if you google Java Widget then there are a lot of links that come up. So... yes, it's possible, I've never tried it. :)

What are you really trying to accomplish? A glasspane and custom event handlers can deflect focus. You don't even want to be able to alt-tab the window into focus?
