OrangeExtensions

Overview

Apple's official jar of Java extension stubs allows you to compile projects that use Apple Java Extensions on platforms other than Mac. Unfortunately, Apple does not keep its stubs jar up to date.

Features

• Allows you to compile Apple Java Extensions on Windows, Linux, and others.
• Supports new methods like setDockImage() added for Java 5.
• Supports methods like revealInFinder() added for Java 5 update 6 and Java 6 update 1.
• Supports multi-touch gesture methods added for Java 5 update 7 and Java 6 update 2.
• Supports the new eawt and exit handling added for Java 5 Update 8 and Java 6 Update 3.
• Includes source code (unlike official jar), released under permissive BSD license.
