[JAVA2D] Foxtrot

[Irving Salisbury III]

I have been asked to help evaluate Foxtrot for a client of mine.
Looking through the source code, I am a little concerned.  Has anyone
used this or have any experience with it?  I am especially concerned
about the following code:
     try
     {
        AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedExceptionAction()
        {
           public Object run() throws ClassNotFoundException,
NoSuchMethodException
           {
              ClassLoader loader = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
              conditionalClass = loader.loadClass("java.awt.Conditional");
              sequencedEventClass =
loader.loadClass("java.awt.SequencedEvent");
              Class dispatchThreadClass =
loader.loadClass("java.awt.EventDispatchThread");
              pumpEventsMethod =
dispatchThreadClass.getDeclaredMethod("pumpEvents", new
Class[]{conditionalClass});
              pumpEventsMethod.setAccessible(true);
              // See remarks for use of this property in
java.awt.EventDispatchThread
              String property = "sun.awt.exception.handler";
              String handler = System.getProperty(property);
              if (handler == null)
              {
                 handler = ThrowableHandler.class.getName();
                 System.setProperty(property, handler);
                 if (debug)
System.out.println("[SunJDK14ConditionalEventPump] Installing AWT
Throwable Handler " + handler);
              }
              else
              {
                 if (debug)
System.out.println("[SunJDK14ConditionalEventPump] Using already
installed AWT Throwable Handler " + handler);
              }
              return null;
           }
        });
     }
     catch (Throwable x)
It looks like this is getting access to some classes that it shouldn't
have access to.
Thanks for any help or advice.
