Mac OS X: Is there something like com.apple.eawt to set dock icon?

cshJan 21 2014 — edited Jan 21 2014

Hi,

I want to set the dock icon of my application in Mac OS X.

I have expected that it can just be set with the stage.getIcons().add("icon") because that's the way how it works in Windows 7.

After I googled, I found that it can be done with a library: com.apple.eawt.

There are also other thing like bouncing icon in the dock:

I would have guessed, that stage.toFront() would make it bounce, because in Windows 7 that method makes the application blink in the task bar (it's quite similar).

I'd like to see an API for things like that in JavaFX. Is there already a feature request?
