I agree, it seems unused. I can only find a read in `JLI_NotifyAWTLoaded` but that is never called. 

I guess we should file a bug on mainline to remove this code. Question is if we should keep this hack in mobile for the time being. I guess we can do that, if it is needed to make it compile. A fix in mainline will likely trigger a manual merge later on.
