<AWT Dev> JDK-8075070 [macosx] system menu bar disabled when using webstart to start

[Phil Race]

I have just examined the (closed) source file that enumerates the secure 
properties and
I clearly see "apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar" along with all the rest.

This is current 8u-dev source and the file hasn't been updated in a year ..
