<AWT Dev> [9] Review Request: JDK-8036112: JColorChooser throws a NPE when applet with static reference is reloaded

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Dmitry.
This means that the wrong EDT will be used for some components.
The situation is strange. We have appcontext and probably some 
components, which belongs to it, but there is no appropriate EDT. Why? 
Should we recreate it?
And i think appContext.getAppContext() can be null too.
