Mac: Reconsider a different implementation for providing list of open windows in the dock icon menu

    • Icon: Enhancement Enhancement

    • javafx
    • FX 2.1 Developer Preview b17
      MacOS 10.7

      If you build up an FX application (Scene Builder is an example but with any FX stage it's the same) and run it you face two issues on Mac:
      - if you minimize the window and left click the corresponding icon in the dock you can't resume the window (of course I assume the user has checked the option "Minimize windows to application icon" in Dock options).
      - if you minimize the window and right click the corresponding icon in the dock the menu that pops-up doesn't contain one row per window of your process.

      Doing exactly the same with a Java AWT app doesn't show up the issues listed above.
      So I guess there's some support missing for now in FX, right ?
      Could it be something that will come with JDK 7 U4 ?

      By FX / AWT application for Mac I mean a basic dmg bundle organized as a Java app (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Reference/Java_InfoplistRef/Articles/JavaDictionaryInfo.plistKeys.html).
