years ago, JDIC went straight to the grave. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_pkamenarsky_jdic-2Dmacos-2Dtray&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=_6rXNpPJ1fYV-3bV1za02NiR4PUelvicfHXwtnTXpXE&m=zTcYsxEVovUqYibecGweqgK7A-Ybze-si0MFgPcXrhM&s=TIur6Q2iIEQkztkkha5mRusYs1vyPEDGSNnZVYHRNUM&e= (9 years ago) / Boy how time flies, huh?

Java6 already has cross-platform tray support, however the MacOS implementation doesn't allow the usage of template images, which makes the menu bar icon stand out badly" "In order to overcome that limitation jdic-macos-tray uses a compiled native library to directly access the Cocoa API. It's based on the original jdic project, which now seems to be dead" https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_briandealwis_jmapi&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=_6rXNpPJ1fYV-3bV1za02NiR4PUelvicfHXwtnTXpXE&m=zTcYsxEVovUqYibecGweqgK7A-Ybze-si0MFgPcXrhM&s=ywxbJlbW7t7iGGt2W77l95gnNK8C3t3WDR5rL-lBfRo&e= " Much of the remaining functionality within JDIC has been absorbed into Java6 through java.awt.Desktop " Sorry for the noise, then...
