http://comanche/jawstest/merlin/hellojaws/

Step to reproduce (On Window):
- Install Merlin B57.
- Due to another bug, after installing Merlin B57, you have to remove JWS
  1.0.1, which was bundled inside Merlin. (By default, that JWS 1.0.1 was
  installed into "C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\Java Web Start", that caused
  another bug.)
- From /usr/local/java/javaws1.0.1fcs/bundles, get 
  javaws-1_0_1-win-us.exe
  Install this one into a dir which does not contain ' ', such as C:\JWS101.
- Restart your browser, from above page, click the first jnlp link. You will
  see the application is running. But there is nothing displayed.

N/A

When I modified this code to do an invokeLater, the Runnable was never run. This may be related to java web start spanning its own AppContext and thus its own EventQueue. I'm reassigning to awt for further investigation.

The source code shown at..
http://comanche/jawstest/merlin/hellojaws/code.html#file4 (src/hellojaws.java)
is not consistent with the actual behavior of the application in jar/hellojaws.jar.  I need the actual source code of the provided application to investigate this bug further.  Please attach the current hellojaws.java and the hellojaws.jar to this bug.

This looks like a WebStart problem.  Notice in the comments that the AppContext in the application has two AWT-EventQueue threads.  There should only be one.

The above problem is caused by a change to EventQueue.java.   Prior to Merlin EventQueue.java created the AWT-EventQueue thread in the constructor, now it is created on the posting of the first event.  This causes trouble for WebStart.  I believe this is related to the fixes for 4271416 and 4030718.  See the comments section for the code snippet WebStart uses to create an AppContext

This has been fixed by running application in it's own thread group.
