Hi Andrea, thanks for your explanation, it does make sense to me that this is not a bug but rather a limitation in the Java environment. I'd say it's fine as long as you know about this behaviour and use the workaround instead. I just wanted to let you and the ML know, maybe there will be a solution for this in some future release..
