Java UI apps won't display when using Mac Screen Sharing

[Mike Swingler]

This is a bug in OS X. Please file with your testcase at <http://bugreporter.apple.com>, and reference bug ID 13170906: "animation does not work in NSOpenGLLayer under VNC".

Be sure to mention that the physical display is disconnected.

Thanks,

I'm trying to run a JavaFX application on the server and I have to resize the stage in order to see the content.  I reproduced the same issue with Netbeans IDE 7.1.2 running on the server.
