[aspectj-dev] ajbrowser run problems

[Wes Isberg <wes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to make the ajbrowser run button work for demo purposes, 
or, failing that, disable it.

Currently it successfully runs a main class in the same VM, which 
works for console appplications but not for AWT applications - 
spacewar in particular.  I'm not sure whether or how an AWT 
application can be written to share an event queue with a Swing 
application.  (Fixes, advice, and pointers (beyond sun docs) 
welcome.) Failing that, Mik started a process-launching 
implementation which I could complete, time permitting.

Below is the behavior, including 1.4 variants in case the 
1.4.1 AWT focus changes are having an impact.
