Wouldn't there be some way to associate this package with the project in a contributed section or something?
It was an original Apple contribution wasn't it?
These classes sort of enable a java application to be a normally functioning Mac application, handle associated files, print events, etc. with much more goodness.
Saying none of this this is supported seems a little worrying and a serious disadvantage to java applications.
