Hello, good people,

This change http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/jdk/rev/2b680924a73f
broke again icedtea-web build with java 9. Since there is no support
of serialized applets anymore, the fix for Java 9 seems a straight
forward removal of the doInit = true assignment. See attached patch.

Now there is a question, since the true is a default for doInit in the
base class, whether removing this doInit for java 7 and 8 is not a
plausible solution. If not, we will lose the possibility to use the
same build of icedtea-web for java 9 and the lower versions.

Please, advise

Cheeers
