Unlike JFC menus, AWT menus are not conform to the Java component-container paradigm. Therefore, their behavior is different than that of the JFC menus, and is independent of the JVM version. Silk Test Classic can record regular AWT menus for all versions of the JDK.
For context menus that are conform to the Windows standard, which means that they can be opened with a right-click, Silk Test Classic can play back, but not record, the context menus for all versions of the JDK.
For AWT popup menus that are not conform to the Windows standard, Silk Test Classic cannot record or play back for all versions of the JDK. The JavaAwtPopupMenu class is available for playback only. Silk Test Classic is not able to record it and you must hand script any interaction with such a menu.
