JDK-7051942 - System properties defined in applet "java_arguments" parameter are not passed through correctly
Description
The Java version 1.6.0_45 which was released last week is having some issues in our application.

We are not able to download our jars from the server in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Vista.
This happens when the jars are trying to download using Jnlp Preloader.

We see some kind of security issue in the logs. I am attaching the java console logs for the same.

Please Note that all our jars are signed. Also this issue is not happening in Windows XP.

SQE is OK to defer the fix from 6u51.

Looks like JDK-7051942 is the same fix that I applied to jdk6. But this one removes more useless code.

The bug was introduced by this backport https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8010167 The PluginMain expects to get args via system properties while sever jdk sends them by pipe: see sun/plugin2/main/client/PluginMain.run ~242 line see sun/plugin2/main/client/PluginMain.handleMessageSetJVMID ~626 line I removed checks for windows vista, so PluginMain always reads arguments from pipe - with this change customers application works correct.

Use case is public JRE, hence adding 6u51 as target fix ver.
