[icedtea-web] RFC: Do not show prompts on exceptions for the plugin

Hi,

If the plugin fails to load because of exceptions, the exceptions should 
be indicated by the applet loading screen. Showing users error dialog 
for applets not working does not seem too nice. But since applet 
loading/splash screens are not implemented, the attached patch disables 
the error message and makes the exceptions log to stdout/stderr.

ChangeLog:
2011-04-20  Omair Majid  <omajid at redhat.com>

   * plugin/icedteanp/java/sun/applet/PluginAppletSecurityContext.java
   (PluginAppletSecurityContext): Set the launch handler to the
   stdout/stderr based one.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Cheers,
Omair
