I found out that this feature is included in Java 9. It is part of AWT and it is quity simple too use.
Here is short example:
import java.awt.Taskbar;
import java.awt.Taskbar.State;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
/**
* @author fxl
*/
public class TaskbarSample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// JavaDoc:
// https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/awt/Taskbar.html
// MSDNDoc:
// https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd391692(VS.85).aspx
if (Taskbar.isTaskbarSupported() == false) {
return;
}
JFrame dialog = new JFrame("Test - 50%");
dialog.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
dialog.setVisible(true);
Taskbar taskbar = Taskbar.getTaskbar();
taskbar.setWindowProgressState(dialog, State.ERROR);
taskbar.setWindowProgressValue(dialog, 50);
}
}
this is now possible using SWT please review the code example:
org.eclipse.swt.snippets.Snippet336
This example will do the job:

There is no standard facility in Java for doing so, yet.
Hence you need to talk to Windows directly to do that. So you need to locate the correct Windows routine, and use JNA (probably the easiest) to invoke that routine. I do not know of a vendor or a project who has done this already.
Edit: It appears that the http://code.google.com/p/nativelibs4java/ project may do what you want.
