Description

This RFE reflects the following problems:

1) Problems with Notification Area:

   - 6268447 "PIT: TrayIcon.displayMessage() throws NPE when notification area is not
              available";
   - 6268039 "PIT: NPE when removing a tray icon from the notification area, GNOMEle
              on the GNOME Panel";
   - 6268444 "PIT: Removing the notification area manually moves tray icon to
              top-left corner, GNOME".

2) Problem with PopupMenu:

   - 6268088 "PIT: Adding the same popup menu to 2 tray icons throws exception on
              Solaris but not on win32".

3) Tooltip & Balloon message length (doc only change):

   - 6267955 "PIT: Tooltip text for TrayIcon gets truncated".

4) Mouse events contain absolute coordinates (doc only change):

   - 6266454 "SystemTray API doesn't report that mouse events are delivered
              with absolute coordinates".

5) Security problem:

   - Anyone is allowed to add a TrayIcon to the SystemTray (no bug filed).

EVALUATION A CCC-request is available in DRAFT state. ###@###.### 2005-05-18 14:02:05 GMT 6268437 : "PIT: Clicking the DisplayMessage triggers Action Event - Must be documented" included in the RFE. ###@###.### 2005-05-27 08:05:15 GMT 6271569 "Throwing UnsupportedOperationException is not documented in java.awt.TrayIcon constructors" is included in this RFE. ###@###.### 2005-06-02 13:24:57 GMT 6303746: PIT: ActionEvent is not at all triggered when clicking TrayIcon message on Win2000 (As per the evaluation of this bug, Win2000 does not support triggering of action event when clicking on the display message. Hence the specification must explicitly say that this may not be supported on some platforms.)
