_______________________________________
Java Web Start
1.4.2_07 menu bar never uses screen menu bar
1.5 situation is more promising:
if /Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences has property Java
console = show console
then apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar doesn't work
BUT
if Java console = hide console or Java console = do not start console
apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar works as expected
if you put
System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", args[0]);
into the
MacOSXMenuBarGUI class
then
apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar won't work for 1.5 either
so only case when apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar works as expected
is
Java 5
Java console property of the Applications/Utilities/Java/Java
Preferences application
has value "hide console" or "do not start console"
and you call System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar",
args[0]);
from the special launcher class that doesn't have any connection with
GUI classes
(explicitly or implicitly)
BUT THERE IS A VERY GOOD NEWS
if you use property element in jnlp's resource element:
or
<resources>
<j2se version="1.5*"/>
<property name="apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar" value="true"/>
....
</resources>
"apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar" will work on 1.4 and 1.5 platforms
doesn't matter how java console will be set (on/off doesn't matter)
