Description

This sample demonstrates a mechanism for displaying document-modal sheets, a feature specific to Mac OS X applications, inside a Java application. It uses the AWT Native Interface (JAWT) to obtain a JFrame's underlying NSWindow (Cocoa) peer, and displays an NSOpenPanel or NSSavePanel using the beginSheetForDirectory:... method. Note the combination of performSelectorOnMainThread and EventQueue.invokeLater to prevent threading problems when communicating between AppKit and AWT.
