<AWT Dev> Review-request for 8143227: Platform-Specific Desktop Features

[Alexander Zvegintsev]

Hi Alexander,

resending the same webrev under the new ID
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8143227
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~azvegint/jdk/9/8143227/00/

The approach is pretty the same as it was in Desktop before:
Check feature with isSupported() call.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~azvegint/jdk/9/8143227/Snip.java

For testing it on Ubuntu you should create a .desktop file e.g.:
~/.local/share/applications/SomeApp.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=SomeApp
Path=/path/to/your/directory/with/Snip
Exec=/path/to/jdk9/java -Djava.desktop.appName=SomeApp.desktop -jar 
Snip.jar
#or Exec=/path/to/jdk9/java -Djava.desktop.appName=SomeApp.desktop Snip
Terminal=false
Type=Application

After that you can run it from dash with specified name.

Thanks,
Alexander.
