java application not appearing in system tray

[Brian Pitts]

According to bug #974480, java applications are whitelisted; if they have a system tray icon, should appear in the notification area. This is not happening for DavMail. To reproduce, install and run DavMail as documented at http://davmail.sourceforge.net/linuxsetup.html . I verified that DavMail is running but no icon appears.

As described in http://www.webupd8.org/2015/05/on-demand-system-tray-for-ubuntu.html you can simply install `Indicator Systemtray Unity`, a new AppIndicator which adds a system tray to the Unity panel.

This bug is being marked as Invalid. If you believe the problem to still exist in the latest version of Ubuntu, please comment on why that is the case and change the bug status to NEW.
