[Mac OS X] Drawing directly to NSView

Hello Folks,
after reading the source of the native .jnilib of JDIC for mac os x, I asked myself why it shouldnt be possible to draw directly into an NSView from Java since it seems to me that the "painters model" is the same.
Just have a proxy class in java as subclass of Component or whatever, proxy code inside a jnilib that passes all calls to a native subclass of NSView.
Shouldnt that be fairly easy?
Before you ask yourself if that isnt re-circumventing the wheel, since the whole point of having Java is to not have to deal with NSViews directly anymore: you are right.
But looking at the TrayIcon class in JDCI and in Java 6, I concluded that you still can only set an icon into the tray. What if you want to be able to draw into it from Java? As a side note: in Cocao you can draw onto your DockTile, too - that is not in Java 6.
Just some ideas from me...
