<AWT Dev> [7u6] Review request for 7162144: Missing AWT thread in headless mode in 7u4 b20

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Sergey and Oleg,

Please review a fix for http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=7162144 at:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~anthony/7u6-16-missingAWTThread-7162144.0/

Notes:

1. To prevent a hang, invokeAndWait() will throw InterruptedException 
when the EDT is interrupted. NetBeans team confirms that this solution 
helps resolve their issue.

2. There's no easy way to test it, so there's not a regression test. 
However, the bug contains a link to a huge test case that I used to 
verify this fix.

3. We're fixing this in 7u6 first, because we're currently unable to 
test it properly with JDK 8 due to broken headless mode (blocked by an 
open JVM bug).
