With Java 9 we see the follow NPE in the Java Console if we open a new
window. With Java 8 all is ok.

java.lang.NullPointerException

    at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.eventLoop(Native Method)
    at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.run(Unknown Source)

A follow up error is:

Our simple code is:
        public void mouseDragged( MouseEvent ev ) {
            Window w = (Window)ev.getSource();
            Point windowPt = w.getLocationOnScreen();
            ...
        }


Java Web Start 12.0.2.12
JRE-Version verwenden 1.9.0-ea-b12 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1) go to URL: http://helpdesk.inetsoftware.de/jnlp

2) In the last line of the Java console you see where the console output is redirected. It is a file HelpdeskClient.txt in the temp directory.

3) Press the "Search Requests" button in the toolbar. The dialog you can close with the "Cancel" button. The dialog does not close with Java 9, but a NPE is showing in the console (in file HelpdeskClient.txt).
