Does Frame.setIconImage() not work on OSX? If so, does anyone know a workaround? It seems pretty common for OSX applications to put little icons in the title-bar of their document windows. However, it appears that this call no-ops under OSX. Below is some sample code that exhibits this problem.

Thanks, in advance, for any pointers!

You're misunderstanding the purpose of this method -- setIconImage sets the image used in the dock when the window is minimized. It doesn't affect what's in the title bar of the window.

If an icon appears in a title bar that means it's associated with some file on disk, and you can use the icon as a proxy for dragging the file someplace. So, you can't set arbitrary icons in the title of the window.
