<AWT Dev> [11] Review Request: 8205324 Part of java.awt.Desktop.browse(URI) spec is outdated after support of applets was removed

[Sergey Bylokhov]

This is a problem in our current implementation+spec, because the applet 
api still exists and the method in question should call showDocument() 
from AppletContext which is returned by "Applet.getAppletContext()" as 
specified, the problem is that it is never called so we does not follow 
our spec here.
