This patch ensure launcher won't crash JVM for the new static Methods from
local/anonymous class on MacOS.
As @dholmes-ora pointed out in the analysis, this is a MacOS specific bug when
the launcher trying to grab class name to be displayed as the Application name
on the menu.
The fix is to not setting name, test shows that GUI java application shows 'bin' as the
application name. It's possible for us to set the name to something more friendly, for
example, "Java", but I am not sure that should be launcher's responsibility to
choose such a default name. It seems to me the consumer of the JAVA_MAIN_CLASS_%d
environment variable should be responsible to pick such name in case the environment
variable is not set.
Maybe the AWT folk should decide what name should be displayed in this
case. The canonical name was chosen when all main classes had to have a
canonical name. So perhaps a simple name will suffice in the case where
there is no canonical name?
Cheers,
David
