Does Mac Widgets work with pre-Leopard versions of Mac OS X? #4

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I noticed in the demos that you make frequent use of code such as:
   Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("NSImage://NSDotMac")

According to a reponse I got from Apple's Mike Swingler, the "virtual" file
system "NSImage:" doesn't exist pre-Leopard, and so the code above returns
null.

You probably know this already, but I couldn't find any "requirements" info
which states that Leopard or later is needed.

Right...this will only work in Leopard. I probably should add some requirement 
that states that Mac Widgets for 
Java only works with Leopard. There are a number of assumptions (like with the 
Unified Tool Bar) built in that 
expect certain client properties to work. Alternatively, I could add extra 
rendering code to handle those cases.

I'll think this one over some more.

I've added a System_Requirments wiki, which doesn't say much, but I can add to 
it as necessary.

Also note that all the demos work across platforms now.
