Provide system tray support
Alex50505 opened this issue · 6 comments
As stated in an OpenJDK bug report here, system tray support is a feature present in AWT but not in JavaFX. It is inconvenient to use AWT system tray with JavaFX, and it requires an extra AWT event queue thread, thus increasing the required system resources. I think we should add system tray support in JavaFX. Thanks!
Sorry, I accidentally closed this issue, so I reopened it.
don't - this is obsolete: the new location of the openjfx is https://github.com/openjdk/jfx
@kleopatra Oh, OK, thanks!
@kleopatra I can't find the issues section for the new GitHub repository.
You can file an issue in JBS as described in the README for https://github.com/openjdk/jfx
No need in this case, though, since it is already filed here: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8092115
@kevinrushforth Yes, I already saw that it had been filed, but I also saw that it seemed like it had already gotten ignored, so I went here to file it. So right now, it seems like the only two "solutions" are to either use the AWT system tray or the SWT system tray.
