How to minimize a window using selenium webdriver

I need to minimize my web driver(chrome driver)in java and I have used:

driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(0, -1000));

but there's an error saying:

can not find the symbol Point

What is needed to be done? Dose the Point need to be declared or headers need to be included?

Use selenium Dimension(int w, int h) method with (0, 0) dimension.

driver.manage().window().setPosition(new org.openqa.selenium.Point(0, 0));
driver.manage().window().setSize(new org.openqa.selenium.Dimension(0, 0));

The answer would be 

import java.lang.Object;  
import org.openqa.selenium.Point;

these must be imported to make 

driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(0, -1000));

this will place the window out of visible range

for Dimensions 

    import java.lang.Object;  
    import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;

and the code be

Dimension d=new Dimension(200, 300);
driver.manage().window().setSize(d);

this will only resize the window by Dimension( x, y)

we can also use robot class 

import java.awt.Robot;  
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

and the code for this is (ALT+Space+N)

        `   Robot robot=new Robot();
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SPACE);
            Thread.sleep(100);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_N);
            Thread.sleep(300);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SPACE);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_N);`

this will minimise the window

You can use selenium without opening the browser in the first place :)

//import the selenium web driver
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');

var chromeCapabilities = webdriver.Capabilities.chrome();
//setting chrome options to be headless so that chrome browser doesn't pop up
var chromeOptions = {
    'args': ["--headless"]
};
chromeCapabilities.set('chromeOptions', chromeOptions);
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().withCapabilities(chromeCapabilities).build();

Use this:

Dimension d=new Dimension(200, 300);
driver.manage().window().setSize(d);

Use the setSize(Dimension dim) method of Webdriver.Window.

driver.window.setSize(new Dimension(0,0))
