NSView-based embedding on Mac OS X

[Petr Pchelko]

Hello, Eli.

The NSView-based embedding was implemented and is already available in JDK8 EA builds and JDK7u40.
Here's the bug which was used to track the changes: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7154778

However, this implementation was designed specifically to support the SWT_AWT bridge and was not intended for other use as
it was not tested without SWT. If you still want to use it for some other purposes - please see how it's done in the SWT implementation
of the SWT_AWT bridge. It could be found in SWT sources higher than version 4.3 in the class named SWT_AWT. But if you want to 
use it directly please be aware that it is not a part of the public API and is a subject to change in the future releases.

The NSView-base embedding have nothing in common with JavaFX and is not used for JFXPanel or SwingNode.

Please contact me if you have any problems.

With best regards. Petr.
