Use SourceListContextMenuProvider with awt PopupMenu?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently I'm facing a problem with JPopupMenu. It just sucks under mac -
no blurry background, no rounded borders, and the menu doesn't hide when i
click on the main menu bar (this actually sucks most) If I use the plain
old awt-menu, it looks right.

BUT - awt sucks on win/linux.

So I thought about writing an abstraction layer, which choses the best
components on runtime.

The Problem: SourceListContextMenuProvider just accepts JPopupMenu.
Is there a way to attach a PopupMenu?

The two screenshots show the difference, the latter one is awt.

This won't be necessary with Update 5 of Java on Mac OS X, as JPopupMenus have 
been fixed to render correctly.
