/**
 * The <code>SystemTray</code> class represents the system tray for a
 * desktop.  On Microsoft Windows it is referred to as the "Taskbar
 * Status Area", on Gnome it is referred to as the "Notification
 * Area", on KDE it is referred to as the "System Tray".  The system
 * tray is shared by all applications running on the desktop.
 *
 * <p> On some platforms the system tray may not be present or may not
 * be supported, in this case {@link SystemTray#getSystemTray()}
 * throws {@link UnsupportedOperationException}.  To detect whether the
 * system tray is supported, use {@link SystemTray#isSupported}.
 * 
 * <p>The <code>SystemTray</code> may contain one or more {@link
 * TrayIcon TrayIcons}, which are added to the tray using the {@link
 * #add} method, and removed when no longer needed, using the
 * {@link #remove}.  <code>TrayIcon</code> consists of an
 * image, a popup menu and a set of associated listeners.  Please see
 * the {@link TrayIcon} class for details.
 *
 * <p>Every Java application has a single <code>SystemTray</code>
 * instance that allows the app to interface with the system tray of
 * the desktop while the app is running.  The <code>SystemTray</code>
 * instance can be obtained from the {@link #getSystemTray} method.
 * An application may not create its own instance of
 * <code>SystemTray</code>.
 * 
 * <p>The following code snippet demonstrates how to access
 * and customize the system tray:
 * <code>
 * <pre>
 *     {@link TrayIcon} trayIcon = null;
 *     if (SystemTray.isSupported()) {
 *         // get the SystemTray instance
 *         SystemTray tray = SystemTray.{@link #getSystemTray};
 *         // load an image
 *         {@link java.awt.Image} image = {@link java.awt.Toolkit#getImage(String) Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit.getImage}(...);
 *         // create a action listener to listen for default action executed on the tray icon
 *         {@link java.awt.event.ActionListener} listener = new {@link java.awt.event.ActionListener ActionListener}() {
 *             public void {@link java.awt.event.ActionListener#actionPerformed actionPerformed}({@link java.awt.event.ActionEvent} e) {
 *                 // execute default action of the application
 *                 // ...
 *             }
 *         };
 *         // create a popup menu
 *         {@link java.awt.PopupMenu} popup = new {@link java.awt.PopupMenu#PopupMenu PopupMenu}();
 *         // create menu item for the default action
 *         MenuItem defaultItem = new MenuItem(...);
 *         defaultItem.addActionListener(listener);
 *         popup.add(defaultItem);
 *         /// ... add other items
 *         // construct a TrayIcon
 *         trayIcon = new {@link TrayIcon#TrayIcon(java.awt.Image, String, java.awt.PopupMenu) TrayIcon}(image, "Tray Demo", popup);
 *         // set the TrayIcon properties
 *         trayIcon.{@link TrayIcon#addActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener) addActionListener}(listener);
 *         // ...
 *         // add the tray image
 *         try {
 *             tray.{@link SystemTray#add(TrayIcon) add}(trayIcon);
 *         } catch (AWTException e) {
 *             System.err.println(e);
 *         }
 *         // ...
 *     } else {
 *         // disable tray option in your application or
 *         // perform other actions
 *         ...
 *     }
 *     // ...
 *     // some time later
 *     // the application state has changed - update the image
 *     if (trayIcon != null) {
 *         trayIcon.{@link TrayIcon#setImage(java.awt.Image) setImage}(updatedImage);
 *     }
 *     // ...
