Hi, Leonid.
Does it mean that we cannot use InvokeAndW/Later on the toolkit thread?

Hi,
Please review a fix for 8014264: The applet pathguy_TimeDead throws
java.lang.NullPointerException in java console once click drop-down
check box.
The problem here is that for applets prePostEvent is called within
ThreadGroup that, by design, has no AppContext associated with it. So,
when the code in XChoicePeer/XListPeer prePostEvent implementation
calls EventQueue.invokeLater, it results in NPE because there is no EQ
for this ThreadGroup.
The fix is not to use invokeLater, but to manually create
InvocationEvent to ensure that target's AppContext would be used to
find an EQ for the event to go into.
