Description
The initialization of LSP occurs too soon in both javaws and plugin causing lots of problems:
1.) it is initialized before proxies are initialized, so if it is valid policy jar with re vocation checking on, cannot use proxies to reach the OCSP.
2.) it is initialized before trace is initialized, so we cannot see Trace statements related to parsing lsp file.
3.) it is initialized in javaws when launch javaws for reasons other than running an app:
javaws -viewer, javaws -import, javaws - SSVBaselineUpdate, etc.
in all the above cases, revocation checking of a valid policy file may have to timeout before the operation can proceed.

SQE-OK to get this issue fixed in 7u40.

move the call to LocalSecurityPolicy.initialize to later in the init sequence.
