Mac support enhancement #102

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I hope that this is the right place for code contributions.  I added better 
integration with Mac OS X.  It basically does three things:

(1) Makes the application name appear in the Mac menu bar (by default, 
"org.eclipse.jdt.internal.jarinjarloader.JarRsrcLoader" appears...this must be 
the class name of the jar-in-jar loader)
(2) Makes an icon appear in the dock.  I just did a Google search for an image 
of the evo chamber and used that.  I also made a change so that the same icon 
also appears in non-Mac OSs (JFrame.setIconImage()).
(3) Allows the application to respond to the user selecting items from the Mac 
application menu, such as "About", "Preferences", and "Quit".

Unfortunately, I had to move the main method (and the checkForUpdates method) 
into a new class (EcSwingXMain) because the Mac code has to run literally 
before *anything* else GUI-related.  Including this code at the beginning of 
the original EcSwingX.main() method does not work, I think because EcSwingX 
extends a class and that class probably does some static initializations.

The Mac code is executed using reflection, so it will still compile and run on 
non-Mac OSs.

All files in the attached ZIP should go in the "com.fray.evo.ui.swingx" 
package.  Thanks.

Whoops...accidentally included two files in the ZIP that are not related to 
this issue.  Attached is the correct ZIP.

Lomilar can you grant the commit bit to mike? It would be better to have a 
developer with access to the platform make the changes as he will be able to 
test them properly.
Also added OpSys-All tag because the icon is set for all platforms.
