It was originally meant for browser applet which as you told is not supported 
and therefore test can be removed but I see it is also used to test a Unity fix 
for [8159460](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8159460) that does not seem 
to be about applet, rather undecorated child window not getting focus...
Yet the test instructions is being done in SecurityException catch-block which 
itself looks odd...Guess it's fair enough to delete..
