Porting custom feature from JetBrains JDK to OpenJDK
Answered
Hi,
I am interested to use in my application a custom decorator similar to IntelliJ Idea. It will have a "File" menu in the window decorator (as same container of minimize, maximize, close buttons).
I have seen that the open JDK has same limitations on that, but the problem has solved with JetBrains JDK (com.intellij.jdkEx.JdkEx class).
Have you planned, in the near future, to submit the JDK extension to Open JDK?
Best regards

I'm afraid we're not going to submit this feature to OpenJDK in the nearest future. There're two reasons:
1) The feature is limited to MS Windows only that doesn't meet cross-platform requirements in OpenJDK.
2) Due to some MS Windows API misbehaviour the feature needs partial support on IDEA side.
It's likely possible to solve both the issues, but not in the nearest time.
Ok, thanks Anton
