System Tray (Menu Extras) icon in Mac Os using Java

Question

I\'m developing a desktop application using Java. I want to put an icon (with a contextual menu) on the system tray (called Menu Extras in Mac Os). Java 6 comes with support

Answer 1

I ported a Windows application to my Mac with little difficulty. One thing I noticed is that the icons are in full, living color (not following the Mac convention). I'll need to add a little OS-specific code to convert myself. But this is a big step up from the DLL dependent Desktop integration version from earlier iterations of Java.
