Substance/Swing exceptions regularly thrown

[Carsten Saathoff]

The following exception is regularly thrown:

I am not sure whether this is a problem with the GUI updates triggered from within the plugin views. Maybe they have to be added to the Swing thread queue? Once these exceptions totally messed up the GUI, but usually the don't seem to interrupt normal work.

This bug seems to be caused by OpenJDK, which I had accidentally installed as my default. We will not fix this issue as it seems to be somewhere between OpenJDK and substance.
