<AWT Dev> [9] Review request for JDK-8056211: JCK test api/java_awt/Event/InputMethodEvent/serial fails

[Alexey Ivanov]

Hello AWT Team,

Could you please review the fix for bug:
     bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8056211
     webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aivanov/8056211/jdk9/webrev.00/

Description:
When you deserialize InputMethodEvent object serialized with JDK 1.3 or 
earlier, you'll get java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null source. To 
initialize 'when' field, getMostRecentEventTimeForSource is used in this 
case but 'source' field is always null when object is deserialized.

The fix:
Use the old way to initialize 'when' field where its value is 0, that is 
EventQueue.getMostRecentEventTime().


Thank you in advance,
Alexey.
