On which platforms are TrayItem supported?

Windows is the only one I know of for sure. Anyone else?

So it should be safe to use the following simple workaround to determine
if a platform has Tray support?

private boolean platformHasTray()
{
String pf = SWT.getPlatform();
return (pf.equals("win32") || pf.equals("gtk")) ? true : false;
}

I hope that a similar api will be added to SWT. In
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=64923 it's mentioned that
this will be added "post 3.0", which is now :-)

The Tray and TrayItem classes exist on all platforms, including the
non-supported platforms (as stubs), so you can just write your code with the
assumption that tray support is available. If your application is written
like this and is run on a platform that does not have tray support then no
tray item will be shown, but your application will otherwise run fine.

However if you want to change your application behaviour according to
whether the tray is available or not (ie.-
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=64923 ) then differentiating
according to the platform string should be fine.
