Is there a way to get at the System images from Java (like those referenced below)?

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("NSImage://NSComputer");
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("NSImage://NSInfo");
etc.

Just take the image name from that page, and chop out the "ImageName" component. As these system images are Leopard-only, so is the Java support for it.

The NSImage:// syntax also loads arbitrary images from your bundled application's Resources folder (ICNS, PDF, multi-res TIFF, etc). It is, unsurprisingly, a cheap trick that calls though the [NSImage imageNamed:] method.
