A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Encoding Colors and Fonts in Applets with XMLEncoder throws Exceptions (both, either using appletviewer or java-plugin).
These exceptions are not thrown using a JFrame or in non-gui apps!!!

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Try to encode a Color or a Font with XMLEncoder inside an Applet.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java version="1.4.1_01" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
 <object class="java.awt.Color">
  <int>255</int>
  <int>0</int>
  <int>0</int>
  <int>255</int>
 </object>
 <object class="java.awt.Font">
  <string>Arial</string>
  <int>0</int>
  <int>20</int>
 </object>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java version="1.4.1_01" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
