I am researching using Java to write an application that will run on a

My question is:
Is there a way to create a system menu item (NSStatusItem),
preference pane
and contextual menu using Java instead of Cocoa for Mac OS X?
Not any more. Until Tiger, Apple supported writing Cocoa applications
in Java, but this was removed, probably due to lack of interest of
both Apple and the developers.
Now you have to use JNI as the interface, optionally writing your own
Java Bridge (make sure you publish it if you do that!).
