      Add support for the java awt and swing components whenever possible.
      There is a new Apple System setting in which we can select Prefer Tabs -> to Always or Full Screen.
      java components behave differently when opening in new tab.
       1. opening two JFrame in tab works fine
       2. opening dialog in new tab cause application freeze(https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8256465)
      Need to examine the behaviour of different components and add support for the components which can be opened in new tab.
