RFC: Netx - Set JNLPClassloader as the classloader for system created threads

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

The attached patch makes JNLPClassLoader the context classloader for 
threads created before the JNLP application starts. This deals with the 
case where the JNLP application needs a previously created thread (such 
as the Swing Event Dispatch Thread) to load a resource provided by the 
application.

http://kenai.com/jira/browse/TRIDENT-1?focusedCommentId=15776&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_15776


ChangeLog:
2009-07-09  Omair Majid <omajid at redhat.com>

   * rt/net/sourceforge/jnlp/Launcher.java
   (launchApplication): Call setContextClassLoaderForAllThreads.
   (setContextClassLoaderForAllThreads): New function.

Any comments?

Cheers,
Omair
