How to create a popup notification in lower right corner of screen

843810Apr 7 2006 — edited May 16 2006

Hi
I am fairly new to GUI building in Java. I am using Netbeans 5.0 and currently developing a desktop application. I wanted to display informational messages from the application to come up in lower right corner of screen - similar to when in MSN or Yahoo messenger if new person signs in. Similar pop-up is also found in Norton when it finishes live update.
Currently I am using JOptionPane.showMessageDialog to do this, but it would be more appealing with messages showing on the side without interrupting the application user.

Can someone point me to what I should look at to achieve this? Any sample code would be great help.

Thanks
