When Java Update is available for download and install , Java Update Icon is shown in the windows system tray, waiting for user click events (right , life mosue clicks) before downloading the patches, before installting the patched based on the notification policy specified in control panel.

for automation, SQE needs a hook or shortcut key??? to send send events to this icon for automating the Java Update Test cases, Since Java Update process is tied into this icon , we need an hook to NOTIFY_SHELL ICON in windows SYSTEM TRAY. This will help SQE automating the test suites.

To reproduce this automation issue:

1. Install Mantis J2RE1.4.2 beta build.
2. Control Panel -> Java Plug-in Control Panel -> Update -> Click on Update
3. Java Update Icon is shown in the system tray for user input (mouse click)
   to download and install the patch.
4. User had to move the mouse , right/left click mouse for the options.
