Hi there,

I noticed recently that this code
WebView wv = new WebView();
throws an exception that creates no real problem but it is a bit annoyng.

The exception is thrown here:
class PropertyHelper {
     static boolean getBooleanProperty(String var0) {
         try {
             String var1 = System.getProperty(var0);
             return "true".equals(var1.toLowerCase());
         } catch (Exception var2) {
             return false;
         }
     }
}

If I manually set
System.setProperty("javafx.sg.warn", "true");

this exception is not thrown.

But why?
