SystemTray initialization takes a long time

[Martmists-GH]

Usually takes between 2-3 minutes before it shows up.

I think you have to give more complete info. e.g. System Os using, which JDK version is used also which version of library you are trying and so on!

Arch Linux x64, KDE Plasma 6, OpenJDK 21, SystemTray 4.4

I agree, it is pretty slow to startup. Im not sure ebaout 2-3

public void displayTrayIcon() {
SystemTray systemTray = SystemTray.get();
systemTray.setImage(ICON_WHITE.getImageAwt());
systemTray.setMenu(new JMenu());
systemTray.getMenu().add(new MenuItem("Lock", this::lockManifestAndPopup));
systemTray.getMenu().add(new Separator());
systemTray.getMenu().add(new MenuItem("Exit", this::exitApplication));
}

It's almost like there's a built-in 60-second delay.....

It is the same issue as in #190. There was no release after the solution was merged and that's why we still have to deal with this issue. :) @dorkbox can you maybe add this or the other issue to your Milestone 4.5? TIA

[jdmcmillian]

Or tell us who we have to bribe with coffee and a bag of Cheetos?

For the time being I've uploaded a build of 4.5 to my own maven repo in case anyone needs it: https://maven.martmists.com/#/snapshots/com/dorkbox/SystemTray/4.5
