This stops AWT from overwriting the NSApplicationDelegate (`GlassApplication`) that JavaFX sets during toolkit initialization in the case where the AWT toolkit is used from a JavaFX Application (e.g., when using SwingNode or other Swing functionality), and is necessary in order to safely do the above. It also fixes other problems that can result from the delegate being overwritten.

modules/javafx.graphics/src/main/native-glass/mac/GlassApplication.m line 543:

> 543:         isEmbedded = isEmbedded = ![app isKindOfClass:[NSApplicationFX class]];

why is there a double assignment here ?
