<AWT Dev> RFR: [12] JDK-8196681: Java Access Bridge logging and debug flags dynamically controlled

[Krishna Addepalli]

Hi Sergey,

Since the bug was about supporting Java Access Bridge Debugging, I have enabled logging only for Java Access Bridge. So, any log statements form Windows Access bridge are ignored.

Do you think we should enable logging for Windows Access Bridge as well?

Thanks,
Krishna
