FULL JDK VERSION(S):
java version "1.4.2_04-ea"

In Swing's Windows LAF no code has been implemented to use win.menu.height
(which picks up the "Selected items height" value from the OS) to determine
the height of the menubar. Similarly although the code to pick up the value of
SPI_GETHOTTRACKING from the OS has been implemented and assigns it to
win.item.hotTrackingOn this is not used to enable/disable hot tracking of
toolbars/menubars.

Both win.menu.height and win.item.hotTrackingOn are listed as supported Windows
desktop properties in:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/swing/1.4/w2k_props.html
were it states that :
"Programs do not need to access these properties directly; the Windows look and feel will
automatically read and interpret these properties to provide proper visuals and behavior for
the components."
