Why did not integrated into promoted build?

The JDK 7u60 contains fix for the issue JDK-8042590 which checks that AppContext is not null. This prevents NPE for the modal dialog closing. I run SwingSet2 with JRE 1.7.0_65-b30 and the issue is not reproduced. There is no need to backport the fix to JDK 7u.

The fix will be in 8u20 b20 and 9 b21

CAP member had verified it was not fixed in JDK 9 b18 yet. seems it is still in master workspace and not integrated into release build yet.

Hi Ting-Yun, I see 8043705 under the b15 tag of http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk but I don't see 8043705 anywhere in http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/jdk (Master, which is now up to b18) so I'm guessing it's not integrated yet.

This doesn't appear to be fixed in 9 b16 using Chrome 35. chrome://plugins shows the version as 12.0.2.16.
