Java OS X dock menu

Can I add items to the application dock menu?

Editor: I think I miss this problem. I don't want to find a way to add an icon to the dock What I'm looking for is that when you right-click the iTunes icon, you'll get iTunes controls on the menu (play pause, etc.) I want to know how to add custom items to the menu

Solution

Check out com apple. Eawt package Specifically, please perform the following operations when initializing the application:

if (System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Mac OS X")) {
    // only do this setup if we kNow this is a Mac
    com.apple.eawt.Application macApp = com.apple.eawt.Application.getApplication();
    java.awt.PopupMenu menu = new java.awt.PopupMenu();
    // create your java.awt.MenuItem objects here
    // add to menu via java.awt.Menu#add(java.awt.MenuItem)
    macApp.setDockMenu(menu);
}

If you distribute it as a cross platform application, Apple will send it to com apple. The eawt package provides an apple Java extensions jar with stubs, so the code will be compiled using a non Apple JDK
