org.jdesktop.jdic.misc This incubator project / package is created for simple (one method, one class type of) APIs. More complex APIs should be hosted as a separate incubator project in the Incubator Projects section of JDIC.
This project intends to make hosting simple API easier for both the API proposers and JDIC owners, instead of creating an incubator project for each of such simple new API. It also saves the user the trouble to download multiple releases for multiple incubator projects.
Initially, this package contains below APIs:
* Alert API: indicate that a certain program (usually not the program currently focused) needs the user's attention. (Mac OSX supported)
* Volume API: get, set, and monitor the system volume. (Mac OSX supported)
* DockMenu API: set a right click menu on the Dock icon (Mac OSX supported)
* Desktop background wallpaper API: set the background of the desktop.
