References to Apple JDK internal classes from other projects (original) (raw)

1. Force application developers to fork their code to run with JDK6 and JDK7+

2. Re-implement all the Apple classes in JDK7 (and place them to the same package?) It may be very hard, if possible at all, to preserve exactly the same behavior, though. 3. Add more APIs to com.apple.eawt both in JDK6 and JDK7 to use instead of direct references to Apple classes. What about classes that are not related to AWT? 4. Ignore such requests as all the applications relying on apple., or sun., or whatever else packages can be declared "unsupported".

  1. Migrate to JavaFX ;)
