            Description

            When running the ICEpdf Viewer RI Swing application on OS X platforms the application menus are not adjusted to meet Mac UI expectations. Further integration work should be done to make the ViewerRI behave in a more Mac-like manner.

            Specifically:

            - The application menu should appear at the top of the desktop (Mac menubar) instead of inside the application window frame.
            - The application name should appear in the leftmost menu-item of the Mac menubar.
            - The native Mac application menu in the desktop menubar should be integrated with the application to support the "About" and "Quit" functions.
            - The application menubar should *not* display the "About" or "Exit" menuitems when running on a Mac, as these are part of the native Application menu.

              Fixed.

              All code is still multi-platform friendly, but had to add a new .jar to the lib folder for this: AppleJavaExtensions.jar. This is a stub-jar of the required Apple OS APIs and is not required at runtime, just compile-time on non-Mac platforms.

              Looks like the AppleJavaExtensions.jar doesn't include the com.apple.mrj package...

              Okay, got rid of the AppleJavaExtensions.jar altogether, replaced with a little utility class from Apple that uses introspection to invoke the necessary callbacks, etc.
