JDK-4345948 - Class cast exception for custom toolkit due to shared code casting to SunToolkit
Description
 The dynamic loading of the toolkit and event queue is functionality needed 
by the accessability users and the testing clients.  This is currently present
in the Sun implementation, but the two properties used to make this happen
need to be documented so that it is required in all JVM implementations to
be able to support these features.  The exact semantics of this need to be
documented and the event queue loading needs to be moved from a sun class to
a core java class.

EVALUATION jeff.dunn@Eng 1997-12-10 I don't think that we can change this in 1.1.x (it's a requirements change). We will look into it for 1.2.
