Hmm ... that doesn't sound like it moves us toward closure.
Yes, I see this in Toolkit.java
// This property should never be cached
if (propertyName.equals("awt.dynamicLayoutSupported")) {
return
getDefaultToolkit().lazilyLoadDesktopProperty(propertyName);
}
So if I put a sleep(100000) in your test after you read the property
and went and toggled this from system settings before the timer
expired your test program would not work as intended.
So we have an unfortunate name which should have been more like
"awt.isDynamicLayoutActiveOnThePlatformAtThisExactMoment"
and I need to do more reading ..

Correct.
On windows it can be changed anytime in system settings. Java reads the
OS value dynamically, see
BOOL AwtToolkit::IsDynamicLayoutSupported()
Right. on linux too, unlike osx.
