Hi,

I'm developing a cross-platform, Java Swing application, using my Mac, using macOS El Capitan (10.11.6) and Java 8.

I want to write handlers such as a quithandler, preferenceshandler, and an abouthandler.

I want the app to be as Mac-like as possible, yet also work on Windows and Linux, all using the same .jar file.

I understand that back in Java 6, and earlier, that Apple's version of Java 6 allowed this sort on thing?

How can I do this without downgrading to Java 6?
