Thanks, Sergey, for your response, I eventually thought so and built a workaround.

We rely on that. NSApplicationLoad(); } if (![app isRunning]) { AWT_STARTUP_LOG(@"+[AWTStarter startAWT]: ![app isRunning]"); // This is where the AWT AppKit thread parks itself to process events. [NSApplicationAWT runAWTLoopWithApp: app]; } else { // Proceed to exit this call as there is no reason to run the NSApplication event loop. ..... AWT skips initialization of AppKit if it was run using "-XstartOnFirstThread" option.
