public class OSXApplication
extends AbstractApplication

OSXApplication handles the lifecycle of multiple Views using a Mac OS X application interface.

This user interface created by this application follows the guidelines given in the Apple Human Interface Guidelines.

An application of this type can open multiple Views. Each view is shown in a separate JFrame.

Conceptually all views share a global 'screen menu bar'. In Swing this is implemented as multiple JMenuBar instances. There is one JMenuBar for each opened JFrame, and a special JMenuBar which is shown when all views of the application are closed.

The application also provides floating toolbars and palette windows for the views.

In order for the screen menu bar and the floating palettes to function properly, it is essential that all code which opens JFrame's, JDialog's or JWindow's calls addWindow/Palette and removeWindow/Palette on the application object.

The life cycle of the application is tied to the screen menu bar. Choosing the quit action in the screen menu bar quits the application.

The screen menu bar has the following standard menus:

 "Application-Name"   File   Edit   Window

The first menu, is the application menu. It has the following standard menu items:

  About "Application-Name" (AboutAction.ID)
  -
  Preferences... (AbstractPreferencesAction.ID)
  -
  Services
  -
  Hide "Application-Name"
  Hide Others
  Show All
  -
  Quit "Application-Name" (ExitAction.ID)
 

The file menu has the following standard menu items:

  Clear (ClearFileAction.ID})
  New (NewFileAction.ID})
  New Window (NewWindowAction.ID})
  Load... (LoadFileAction.ID})
  Open... (OpenFileAction.ID})
  Load Directory... (LoadDirectoryAction.ID})
  Open Directory... (OpenDirectoryAction.ID})
  Load Recent > "Filename" (LoadRecentFileAction.ID)
  Open Recent > "Filename" (OpenRecentFileAction.ID)
  -
  Close (CloseFileAction.ID)
  Save (SaveFileAction.ID)
  Save As... (SaveFileAsAction.ID)
  Export... (ExportFileAction.ID)
  Print... (PrintFileAction.ID)
 

The edit menu has the following standard menu items:

  Undo (UndoAction.ID})
  Redo (RedoAction.ID})
  -
  Cut (CutAction.ID})
  Copy (CopyAction.ID})
  Paste (PasteAction.ID})
  Duplicate (DuplicateAction.ID})
  Delete... (DeleteAction.ID})
  -
  Select All (SelectAllAction.ID})
  Clear Selection (ClearSelectionAction.ID})
  -
  Find (AbstractFindAction.ID})
 

The window menu has the following standard menu items:

  Minimize (MinimizeWindowAction.ID)
  Zoom (MaximizeWindowAction.ID)
  -
  "Filename" (FocusWindowAction)
  -
  "Palette" (TogglePaletteAction)
 

The menus provided by the ApplicationModel are inserted between the file menu and the window menu. In case the application model supplies a menu with the title "Help", it is inserted after the window menu.
