SHORT SUMMARY:

beans.isdesigntime returns false in jdk 7u2 even if beans.setdesigntime(true)
is called

INDICATORS:

When JDeveloper is started, it would call Bean.setDesignTime(true). In the
older jdk7 (e.g. 1.7.0-b147), calling Beans.isDesignTime() later in other UI
thread would return true. However, when using jdk7u2, isDesignTime() does
not return true if it is called from a different ThreadGroup. This is a
change in behavior and causes regression in our product.
