Hi,

This is my mistake.  I tend to use the word MDI for multiple window
interface...

And you made a fix for MacUtils.isMac().  I don't think it's good idea
to check the value of property "apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar" in isMac()
method.  isMac() should just check if MacOS or not.  And I think the
condition System.getProperty("java.vm.version").startsWith("1.4") also
should be removed. This does not work for JDK 1.5 or greater.  And 1.4
or greater is requirement for any OS now.

How do you think?

You can specify a library file as a command line argument. I always
invoke a default library by using the argument.

And if we define default file, we can use "Patch Library Path" which
user specifies.  But adding a user preference "default library" may be
better idea.
