<AWT Dev> [8] Review Request: JDK-8027152 Regression: test closed/java/awt/Serialize/NullSerializationTest/NullSerializationTest.html fails since JDK 8 b112

[Petr Pchelko]

Hello, AWT Team.

Sorry for this mess with reviews, could you please review yet another version of this fix:
The bug: http://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8027152
Th fix: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pchelko/8027152/webrev.02/

The alwaysOnTop property would be applied to the owned windows when they would be initialized. 

With best regards. Petr.
