@bademux "PLEASE dont fix what is not broken!" - sadly though, this statement is not true as Jayatana is presently very broken both for existing apps and for apps using Swing I've been developing in Java myself.

I do however share your opinion that ideally we should by trying to keep the UX unified where possible. However Java apps have always been a bit different in that they never ever did natively use GTK, as most Java apps are implemented in Swing (even on Windows). I also like Jayatana when it works, but it's Jayatana itself that is supposed to be a compatibility layer between Swing and Unity/ the Ayatana project so I don't understand what your idea of another compatibility would actually look like?!? :S If the Jayatana project becomes a bit more tested, matured and more actively developed than maybe we can can start to consider it again in the future.
