JDK-6285881 - JTrayIcon: support Swing JPopupMenus for tray icons
Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :

It would be great, if the TrayIcon constructor at http://download.java.net/jdk6/docs/api/java/awt/TrayIcon.html

would accept not only AWT PopupMenu, but SWING JPopupMenu also.

now the constructor is:
TrayIcon(Image image, String tooltip, PopupMenu popup);

JUSTIFICATION :
It is impossible to setMnemonic to PopupMenu.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I want to build more sofisticated menus using JPopupMenu (SWING) - not only PopupMenu (AWT).
