Actually, it should work fine. The guts of the AppleEvent handling are in the eAWT code in: <http://hg.openjdk.java.net/macosx-port/macosx-port/jdk/file/default/src/macosx/native/sun/awt/ApplicationDelegate.m>, and most of that uses the standard Cocoa callbacks.

Nope. The launcher just gets the JVM off the ground, and AppleEvents shouldn't be delivered until after AppKit signals applicationDidFinishLaunching. Some of the guts of how the core AWT/AppKit handling gets started are different, but most of the eAWT is just a copy/paste from the Java SE 6 version.
