A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Adding an icon to system tray and displaying a popup/message works in 1.6.0_23 but not in 1.7.0-ea.

That is,
compiled with 1.6.0_23 and run with 1.6.0_23 is OK
compiled with 1.6.0_23 and run with 1.7.0-ea is FAIL


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the test case with javac 1.6.0_23 and run with java 1.7.0-ea.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
New icon in system tray and a popup showing a message.
ACTUAL -
Icon appears in system tray but the popup/message goes missing. EDT seems dead...? No menus...

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
None. Program just hangs.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
