2. Introducing an AWTKeepAlive thread activated in the embedded mode
only. This thread will send an event to the native event queue every
500ms as long as there are active AWT objects present. This activity
will notify the embedder toolkit that the Java application as a whole
is still alive and needs not exit yet.
Why it wasn't necessary for awt-swt bridge?
I don't know. Perhaps we should ask someone who's familiar with SWT?
Steve? How does SWT determine that AWT is dead and therefore it's OK to
terminate the native event loop and exit on the Mac?
