To my knowledge, this API has always been Mac OS X specific. It was 
included in Apple's JDK and came into OpenJDK when the Mac port was 
added. So I don't think you can compile against the Windows JDK as the 
classes don't exist. There was a lengthy thread about it over the summer 
on macosx-port-dev so you might want to check the mail archives (my 
recollection is that there were a few replies from folks that used stubs 
or other means to workaround it).
