SysTray for Java / News: Recent posts

Since the new JNI based implementation for KDE is not stable on some systems, this new release contains also the old socket based implementation as an alternative.

According to user feedback, the latest release v2.4 is unstable on KDE. Seems like the new JNI implementation is buggy. A fix is in progress, however. In the meantime KDE users should stick to v2.3.2.

SysTray for Java now has UNICODE support, a unified JNI based implementation for Windows and KDE3, and system tray emulation on unsupported platforms.

SysTray for Java v2.3.2 is out with two new features:
- SysTrayMenuIcon construction from a URL
- dispose member function in SysTrayMenu as an
alternative to exit

SysTray for Java v2.3.1 is out with support for the extended ASCII character set, plus fixed setState() member in the CheckableMenuItem class.

SysTray for Java v2.3 is out with support fot KDE3.
Unlike on Windows, where JNI is used as communication
interface, on KDE3 a socket based daemon is applied
to access the system tray. In addition to that,
checkable menu items are supported as well.

Bugfix release version 2.2.1 is out. Creating a submenu prior to the main menu wont make the virtual machine crash anymore.

Version 2.2 comes with minor changes, like support for double-clicking the systray icon.

SysTray for Java now supports submenus and the license was changed to LGPL.

SysTray for Java v2.0 is out with a completely redisegned API!
