<Swing Dev> [14] RFR : JDK-4949105 : Access Bridge lacks html tags parsing

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Ambarish.

I have checked behavior change, and it looks like it has some
unexpected issues.

If the text of some component like JLabel sets
the text to HTML and then to the simple text, then HTML based
a11y name will be used instead of simple text.

Note that you should not use "printStackTrace" I guess the old
behavior should be used if some errors occur.
