/**
* The AWTSecurityManager class provides the ability to secondarily
* index AppContext objects through SecurityManager extensions.
* As noted in AppContext.java, AppContexts are primarily indexed by
* ThreadGroup. In the case where the ThreadGroup doesn't provide
* enough information to determine AppContext (e.g. system threads),
* if a SecurityManager is installed which derives from
* AWTSecurityManager, the AWTSecurityManager's getAppContext()
* method is called to determine the AppContext.
*
* A typical example of the use of this class is where an applet
* is called by a system thread, yet the system AppContext is
* inappropriate, because applet code is currently executing.
* In this case, the getAppContext() method can walk the call stack
* to determine the applet code being executed and return the applet's
* AppContext object.
