Note that the JavaFX menu bar has full-screen support as a supported feature. Though JavaFX needs support for the Apple "Application" menu. I think the FileManager methods listed below should all have cross-platform equivalents. Some new APIs came in with Java 7... But I don't see equivalents for these FileManager APIs. The event-based open document stuff seems to be exclusively Mac, but we still need an API.

: What about eIO? Is it used by anybody? I'm interesting in hearing about that too as it looks like FileManager defines a few things that might be more appropriate for java.awt.Desktop. Methods to access a file's type/creator codes that could easily be handled via the file system API (I think Michael Hall's FileSystemProvider might already do this). From the eio package I'm using mostly FileManager methods: - findFolder - moveToTrash - revealInFinder From the eawt package: - Application and its listeners - FullScreenUtilities However, Mac users typically like all their app to behave the same and take advantage of the newest OS features. So more is usually better here... -hendrik
