If you debug your application, you'll see that if you interrupt the main 
thread you'll see it's within:

WDesktopProperties.init() line: not available [native method]

whereas the other thread is

FileInputStream.readBytes(byte[], int, int) line: not available 
[native method]	

My guess is that the Swing library somehow accesses the console in 
WDesktopProperties.init() causing a deadlock. I'd use an object to wait 
for the frame to become visible before proceeding with console access:

	public void run() {
		synchronized (sync) {
			try {
				sync.wait();
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				return;
			}
		}
	// ...

and

	private WhereIsMyJFrame() {
	// ...
		JFrame frame = new JFrame("WhereIsMyJFrame");
		synchronized (sync) {
			sync.notify();
		}
		System.out.println("main window created");
		frame.setVisible(true);

Also, I'd guess that you could reproduce this thing outside of Eclipse 
if you ran your program from the command line and redirected your 
standard input and output.
