JDK-6638339 - REG : Getting ConcurrentModificationException when non-existent proxy is used
Description
I occasionally see the following error while running Java applications via Java Webstart.

java.util.ConcurrentModificationException
    at java.util.AbstractList$Itr.checkForComodification(Unknown Source)
    at java.util.AbstractList$Itr.next(Unknown Source)

It is very intermittent, so I don't know whether you will be able to reproduce it. The program continues to run anyway after the exception is thrown. If you run the following Java 3D application several times in a row, you may be able to see the error:

The exception can also be seen in the Java Plug-In. Here is a stack trace from launching the simple Clock applet. The problem is related to invalid proxies being set; at least, in this scenario, the problem is 100% reproducible.

SUGGESTED FIX http://sa.sfbay.sun.com/projects/deployment_data/6u10/6552082.0 testcase: http://web-east.east.sun.com/deployment/www/tests/1.6.0_10/6552082/

EVALUATION It was discovered by accident that specification of an invalid proxy server provoked a ConcurrentModificationException 100% reliably in the Java Plug-In. This problem was previously reported several months ago as an intermittent problem with Java Web Start. The fix is in the DynamicProxyManager and is to not share its cached proxy list with the outside world, but instead to return a copy. Missing synchronization was also added.
