Is there a way to create a system menu item (NSStatusItem),

I cannot seem to find anything, and Java being interpreted seems to
imply
that placing some kind of Java class in the /Library/PreferencesPane
directory wont work.
Anyone had any luck? Is it documented as possible/not possible?
The System Preferences preference pane API and NSStatusItem API are
Cocoa-based APIs, so by definition you must use Cocoa to write code
against them. Finder contextual menu item plug-ins currently use a
CFPlugIn-based API, not a Cocoa API.
Whether you use Objective-C is orthogonal from whether you use Cocoa,
though Objective-C is the native language of the Cocoa frameworks.
