Step to reproduce:
----------------------
1) Run the attached program. You can see the TrayIcon is added to the SystemTray. If you dn't see the TrayIcon, Click on the 'SetImage' button. A file dialog appears, select any one of the image file that is atached(animdog.gif & cupanim.gif). now you can see the selected image as TrayIcon.
2) Click on 'Toggle Popup' button.
3) Right click on TrayIcon , you can see a popup menu above that SytemTray which does not 
match with the native popupmenu. 

I have  attached two screen shot(SystemTrayPopupMenu.png & Nativepopupmenu.png). You can observe that the java popupmenu(SystemTrayPopupMenu.png) is not matching with native popupmenu(Nativepopupmenu.png).

Note:- Please see SytemTray bug 6400191 ( Vista: SystemTray's popup menu is placed 50 pixels above the taskbar) for placement of popupmenu.

I tested this on Vista beta2 (build 5308) on Mustang b76.

It is because AWT popup menus are used, such menus may be styled incorrectly. Allowing JPopupMenu for tray icon should resolve the inconsistency as Swing correctly uses visual styles for rendering menus. See JDK-6287100, JDK-6575405, JDK-8259913.
