Darwin OpenJDK 7 Binaries - Not Working With SWT

[Michael Franz]

Mike,

If the runloop is running on Thread 0, can a thread that is not thread 0
pull events off the runloop by using NSApplication.sharedApplication().
nextEventMatchingMask() ?  Where events are the keyboard and mouse events.

How does one 'park' thread 0?
