set MenuItem unclickable in SystemTray

Question

I want to set my Menuitem in Java unclickable. It should be shown, but not clickable and there shouldn't be a hover color, when you go with your mouse over it. In other words, I want to show a text for info in System-Tray menu. It has no onclick function. The System Tray and the showing works completly, I only need help for this problem above.

 MenuItem itmPrgName = new MenuItem(Main.programmName + " " + Main.version);

How to do this?

use JPopup as container put there JLabel / JTextArea(setEditable(false)) / JTextPane (setEditable(false)) or JPanel contains different amount of JComponents
set proper LayoutManager for JPopup or JPanel if needed

I want to do this in the System Tray. Is Jpopup possible there?! – bbholzbb Apr 15 '13 at 18:31
yes there is only (directly implemented in API) JPopup or show message – mKorbel Apr 15 '13 at 18:50
JPopupMenu x = new JPopupMenu(); x.add(new JLabel("hallo")); trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image, "description", x); – bbholzbb Apr 15 '13 at 21:54
I don't understand how to implement it in the Tray. Can you give me an example?;) – bbholzbb Apr 15 '13 at 21:55
