Description ghartmann 2008-05-01 09:25:15 UTC

There should be a way to remove the menubar completely. My application which I want to port to the netbeans platform 
uses its own menu system (outlook-like JXTaskPane from swingx) and I don't need a menubar.

Currently the toolbar can be removed by the property "netbeans.winsys.no_toolbars".

The most intuitive way to realize this would be to suppress the menubar or toolbar if no folder "Menu" or "Toolbars" is 
available. So I can remove (hide) the folder "Menu" from layer.xml and no menubar will be created. Same should be true 
for toolbars. The property is not a very nice solution.

See org.netbeans.core.windows.view.ui.MainWindow where menubar and toolbar will be created.
