Probable cause of PR840[1]

This is a regression. During refactoring, the setContextClassLoader seems to
have been dropped from initialization like so:

> Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(jnlpclassloader);
> SunToolkit.createNewAppContext();

Setting the context classloader like this is important for resources loaded
from Swing threads. The AppContext captures the context classloader and
periodically will override the swing thread context classloader. This causes
getResource to return null in swing threads, mysteriously.
