<Swing Dev> [7u8] Review request for 7193219: JComboBox serialization fails in JDK 1.7

[Anton Litvinov]

Hello Pavel,

Thank you very much for a positive review of the fix and detailed 
remarks for the test. Could you review a corrected version of the test 
in a new webrev. I would like to clarify that a previous version of the 
test contained some irrelevant components, because I was not sure if I 
could significantly modify the original test case provided with the bug 
itself. URL of a webrev with the test class corrected according to your 
remarks is provided below.

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alitvinov/7193219/webrev.02

The modified test was checked using "jtreg" tool on JDK with and without 
this fix, and the test behaved properly. The following changes were made:
1. Setting visibility of frames was removed, because it  does not 
influence reproducibility of the test.
2. All components except JPanel and JComboBox were eliminated from the test.
3. Frames' titles were corrected.
4. Method "test" was renamed and moved into EDT execution block.
5. Method "createAndShowGUI" was renamed.
6. Calls to JFrame's "dispose" method were added.

Thank you,
Anton
