How to implements, system notification in java desktop application

Question

I want to build a simple system notification in my Java desktop application. So, after some search on web, I have find JCarrierPigeon library to do this.

So after insert the two library I have this code:

package prove;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

import net.sf.jcarrierpigeon.Notification;
import net.sf.jcarrierpigeon.NotificationQueue;
import net.sf.jcarrierpigeon.WindowPosition;

public class NOtification {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        NotificationQueue queue = new NotificationQueue();



            JFrame window1 = new JFrame();

            Notification note1 = new Notification(window1, WindowPosition.BOTTOMRIGHT, 25, 25, 1000);

            queue.add(note1);
    }
}

But if I try to run it, I have this error:

Answer 1

The Homepage of JCarrierPidgeon states:

"First of all, be sure to include the Timing Framework library in your classpath."

And the errormessage looks like you did not do this.

The Homepage also provides a link to that library. I won't do it here, because it is likely to become out of date.
