JavaFX tray icon app on Linux?

k.rinkNov 23 2015 — edited Nov 25 2015

Folks;

we're into building a JavaFX based desktop application for internal purposes which should work on Windows 8, MacOS and Linux. This application includes a system tray icon and two context menus (left, right mouse button). Outcome: While this works fine on Windows, at the very least on the Linux platform (Ubuntu 15.10, GNOME desktop) the tray icon appears just as a black square (no icon/image), and no context menu seems to work. I am unsure whether this is a JavaFX issue as the context menu obviously is plain AWT, yet maybe someone has seen this before and could come up with an explanation or even a workaround?

Thanks in advance and all the best,

Kristian
