When passing in a value for the http.proxyHost system property on the command
line when invoking AppletViewer (using -Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxy.com, for
example), AppletViewer causes the following message to be printed out:
Warning: Temporarily overwriting system property at users request: key: {0} old
value: {1} new value: {2}

It appears that AppletViewer is passing in a bad string into MessageFormat. In
particular, the key "appletviewer.main.warn.prop.overwrite" in
sun.applet.resource.MsgAppletViewer appears to contain a single instance of the
single-quote character instead of a properly escaped double instance (user's
should be user''s).

The result is a message that is confusing, instead of one that tells the user
exactly what property is being overwritten, and with what value.
