Looks like your application installs a SecurityManager and triggers a
bug in  javax.swing.UIManager.maybeInitialize. I guess there is some
call to java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged() missing as
java.awt is surely no prohibited package. It should be loaded by the
system classloader. If thats not the case, its another bug.
