"Place Java icon in system tray" Checkbox

[Jeff Palmer]

Went through all the Java Control Panel tabs.

One area of dubious meaning is the "Place Java icon in system tray" checkbox of the Miscellaneous section of the Advanced  Tab.  Does this have any meaning on this platform? I played with it, & nothing really happened.  Grey it out maybe?

See there is an entry in OSX Port Status Page talking about cleanup of control panel.  The status page has not been updated in a while, though (and URL changed).  The usefulness of listing of things this way may also have passed. 

Is there some idea of the things that are left?  Is the port to the point of just knocking off more bugs?  Are there also dependencies in 7u6 that are not Mac related?

As an observer, there is no easy way to tell.  Anything would be appreciated.
