<AWT Dev> New candidate JEP: 398: Deprecate the Applet API for Removal

[Philip Race]

I actually counted almost 100 such open tests. You need to remember 
JApplet too.
And these open jtreg tests do not account for all of it by any means.

There are a couple of options - although I  think re-writing is the only 
truly viable one.
But definitely re-working all of those is one thing that has to happen 
before this JEP can be integrated.
And of course submitted != targeted ..
