I'd like to understand the big picture here
Q1. What does this Desktop API do on Windows and Linux ?
Q2. If someone calls this API it is pretty clear what they want.
Why do we require that they be running Aqua when a lot of the
requests were
specifically about de-coupling it from Aqua?
It is not apparent to me why they must learn about an
undocumented option to get
what they want. And the implNote is misleading (or wrong even)
since there is a way
to do it without Aqua. It is just not advertised.
And it is *even weirder* to add that note if Mac is the only
platform that supports this ...

Hello,
please review the fix
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~azvegint/jdk/9/8177919/00/
for the issue
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8177919
This fix removes throwing of ISE, this allows to use default menu bar
with LaF's other than Aqua (with apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar set to true).
This became possible after JDK-8166683[0] fix.
Current documentation of Desktop.setDefaultMenuBar() has implnotes:
* @implNote Aqua Look and Feel should be active to support this
on Mac OS.
I leave it unchanged, since I don't want to advertise the
apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar property.
