If a shell that hasn't been opened is forced active:
on windows and mac, the current app loses focus, the shell becomes active, but 
can't be seen.
on gtk and motif, if the shell isn't visible, nothing is done.

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

public class pr79504 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        final Display display = new Display();
        Shell shell = new Shell(display); 
//      shell.setActive();  
        shell.forceActive();

        
	  while (!shell.isDisposed()) { 
	    if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
        }
        display.dispose();
    }
}
