I hope to have this fixed for 4.0 - the hook NetBeans uses to update 
menus before they're posted (very old code) is only called when the menu 
is constructed if you're running on the mac.  There is a better place to 
hook it which will work, it simply will mean a bunch of changes to a 
bunch of things in a giant aging hairball of code.

As of 3.6 there is a way for a module to replace the entire main menu 
with its own implementation, so at worst, it might end up being a 
separate mac-specific module (some beginnings of this are in 
contrib/menus - ideally it could provide a way to bridge legacy actions 
and some new clean framework for handling actions).
