@TejeshR13, you're right, there are other tests which reference JDK-6657026:


test/jdk/javax/swing/plaf/metal/MetalSliderUI/Test6657026.java
test/jdk/javax/swing/plaf/metal/MetalInternalFrameUI/Test6657026.java
test/jdk/javax/swing/plaf/metal/MetalBorders/Test6657026.java
test/jdk/javax/swing/plaf/metal/MetalBumps/Test6657026.java
test/jdk/javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicSplitPaneUI/Test6657026.java
test/jdk/javax/swing/ToolTipManager/Test6657026.java
test/jdk/javax/swing/UIManager/Test6657026.java


I looked at a few at the top. They test that the data are bound to `AppContext`. Yet none of these tests fails for me, even with the changes from this PR.

Still, these tests should be removed sooner… or later.
