Hello AWT Team,

Could you please review the fix for bug:
    bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8056211
    webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aivanov/8056211/jdk9/webrev.00/

Description:

When you deserialize InputMethodEvent object serialized with JDK 1.3 or earlier, you'll get java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null source. To initialize 'when' field, getMostRecentEventTimeForSource is used in this case but 'source' field is always null when object is deserialized.

The fix:

Use the old way to initialize 'when' field where its value is 0, that is EventQueue.getMostRecentEventTime().

Thank you in advance,
Alexey.
