Oh, of course. In fact, another user (ljnelson) recently pointed out the same shortcoming in a private e-mail message.

The changes I referred to earlier were intended particularly to display errors that might occur while the ACC is getting ready to launch the client, before any developer-provided code has had a chance to run. This happens on the main thread, but once the GUI starts on the event dispatcher thread the main thread completes.

The Java Web Start-launched ACC should set a default uncaught exception handler that will display the error dialog box that we added earlier for the start-up error handling. I have opened this issue https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3172 to track this enhancement.
