Status of Application.setDefaultMenuBar

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Bruce,

So, did you file a bug at bugs.sun.com about this issue yet? If not, you 
should do so. There's really nothing wrong with filing a bug even if it 
exists already - it will just be closed as a duplicate.

A general rule: when in doubt - file a bug.

PS. The JIRA instance you're referring to is no longer used to track JDK 
issues on the Mac. It might happen that the bug was filed after the 
migration had been completed, and thus it didn't make it to the real bug 
database. This is our fault that the JIRA project hasn't been made 
read-only after the migration. Sorry about that.

best regards,
Anthony
