This patch ensure launcher won't crash JVM for the new static Methods from 
local/anonymous class on MacOS.

As @dholmes-ora pointed out in the analysis, this is a MacOS specific bug when 
the launcher trying to grab class name to be displayed as the Application name 
on the menu.

The fix is to not setting name, test shows that GUI java application shows 'bin' as the 
application name. It's possible for us to set the name to something more friendly, for 
example, "Java", but I am not sure that should be launcher's responsibility to 
choose such a default name. It seems to me the consumer of the JAVA_MAIN_CLASS_%d 
environment variable should be responsible to pick such name in case the environment 
variable is not set.

This bug is similar to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8076264, and 
the fix looks fine.

Both issues involve a problem trying to use the canonical name, but I'd consider both fixes deficient when an alternative name could be used. But this isn't my code so ...
