Is there a way to provide some kind of wrapper/bridge object in
Java (via JNI) to a native NSView class so that I can make Java2D
drawing calls to something like an "NSViewJComponent" from Java,
treating it like a JComponent from within Java?
What I'm really trying to do is implement an NSStatusItem with a
custom NSView, so I can draw, from within Java, an animated GIF,
and provide a custom JPopupMenu. (I know how to do this as a pure
Cocoa app, but I can't reliably pass the image that exists in Java
as an Icon to Cocoa via JNI ((long story, different topic)). So If
I can do the drawing in Java, that solves *that* particular problem.)
I looked at CocoaComponent, but that's for letting Cocoa draw into
a component hosted in a Java view, so it's the opposite of what I
need.
I haven't seen anything that makes me too hopeful that this is
possible, but you never know until you ask. :)
An interesting idea. I would still also be interested in more
examples of CocoaComponent's use, also more examples of what is up
with Quicktime for Java these days. maybe some mention of what is
being done with OS X and jogl with examples.
