SystemTray
==========
Currently in Release Candidate phase. Please see notes below.
The [Release Candidate 3.0 downloads](https://files2.dorkbox.com) are released as a "all-in-one" jar, for a variety of different tray types and configurations. Please note that SWT testing will require you to download the SWT native library and add it to the classpath when you launch the jar. If you use SWT, you should be familiar with this, otherwise don't worry about it.

Professional, cross-platform **SystemTray** support for *Swing/AWT*, *GtkStatusIcon*, and *AppIndicator* system-tray types for java applications on Java 6+.
This library provides **OS Native** menus and **Swing/AWT** menus, depending on the OS and Desktop Environment. Linux/Unix will automatically choose Native menus, Windows will choose Swing, and MacOS will choose AWT.
This library provides **OS Native** menus and **Swing/AWT** menus, depending on the OS and Desktop Environment, and if AutoDetect (the default) is set. Linux/Unix will automatically choose *Nativ*e menus, Windows will choose *Swing*, and MacOS will choose *AWT*.
- Please note that *Native* menus, follow the specified look and feel of that OS and are limited by what is supported on the OS. Consequently they are not consistent across all platforms.

3. *Sun/Oracle* system-tray menus on Windows **look absolutely horrid**
