Description
AWT supports Window.Type.UTILITY windows since JDK 7. Support for these kinds of windows is not implemented in JDK for the Mac yet.

Comments
EVALUATION CPlatformWindow.java must do the following: if (Window.Type.UTILITY.equals(target.getType())) { styleBits = SET(styleBits, UTILITY, true); } when it initializes a style mask for a window.
