      Description

        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
        1.8.0_45

        ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
        Windows 6.1.7601

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        If using a JFXPanel withing a Swing application, setting "alwaysOnTop" to true for a Stage does not work if a security manager has been set, even if that manager does not restrict any permissions. This doesn't seem to be an issue with pure JavaFX applications, and it works fine if no security manager is set

        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        Run the code attached and click the "Show Alert" button in the popup window

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        The alert that pops up should be always on top of any other window
        ACTUAL -
        The alert can be hidden by any other window including the man application window. If however the first in in the main() method (which sets the DoNothingSecurityManager) is commented out the alert will always be on top

        REPRODUCIBILITY :
        This bug can be reproduced always.
