<AWT Dev> [8] Review request for 8022555: [macosx] AppleScriptEngine.jar MUST call java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() lazily

[Leonid Romanov]

No idea. I would guess that AppleScriptEngine needs Cocoa loop running 
in order to work. Since we don't have regression tests for this 
functionality, I haven't tried removing Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() call.
