I tried what FX seems to provide…

		MenuBar mb = new MenuBar();
		mb.setUseSystemMenuBar(true);

But it didn’t work. Maybe not how it should properly be used so I may ask yet.

It seems to come down to what happens in LWCToolkit. FX app’s don’t get some or any of the NSApplicationAWT code to run from it, while they normally do.
This gives you the menu item and the default Cocoa ‘About’ should work. Without it the code manages to run through although it appears to assume this has happened as shown before in ApplicationDelegate , so this seems almost lucky and actually a bug. .
I’m not sure I’ve given up just yet on figuring out what is different so the normal doesn’t happen. 

Thanks for the reply.
