Status of Application.setDefaultMenuBar

[Bruce Johnson]

I can't readily release my application for Java 1.7 on the Mac without support for  Application.setDefaultMenuBar.  This seems pretty important for anyone that wants their application to look like a native Mac application and the lack of it is a big step backwards relative to Java 1.6.

Is there any hope that this will be supported in the "near future"?  Or do we need to go back to the crazy old days of creating an identical, hidden, menubar for every window?

Also, does anyone know if there is an actual bug filed for the lack of setDefaultMenuBar.  I can't find anything in bugs.sun.com, though there was an item in the old Jira system:  http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT-775.  I thought all those bugs had been migrated to bugs.sun.com.


Thanks for any info,

Bruce
