Support for Apple Extensions

[Scott Palmer]

Note that the JavaFX menu bar has full-screen support as a supported feature. Though JavaFX needs support for the Apple "Application" menu.
I think the FileManager methods listed below should all have cross-platform equivalents. Some new APIs came in with Java 7...  But I don't see equivalents for these FileManager APIs.
The event-based open document stuff seems to be exclusively Mac, but we still need an API.

Methods to access a file's type/creator codes that could easily be handled via the file system API (I think Michael Hall's FileSystemProvider might already do this).
