Proposed API changes

Please review proposed API changes

I'll integrated the change tomorrow if there won't be any objections.

These two new methods don't actually use the category parameter. Is that intentional or just a typo?

    public Notification notify(String title, Icon icon,
            String detailsText, ActionListener detailsAction, Priority priority, Category category) {
        return notify(title, icon, detailsText, detailsAction, priority);
    }


    public Notification notify(String title, Icon icon,
            JComponent balloonDetails, JComponent popupDetails, Priority priority, Category category) {
        return notify(title, icon, balloonDetails, popupDetails, priority);
    }

It is an intention - default implementation ignores newly added category parameter
