JDK 7 build 24 is available at the openjdk.java.net website

[Ted Neward]

The key is in getting the Mercurial with the forest extension installed--I
had 0.9.5, which didn't, and I couldn't figure out where to get it or how to
install it; I eventually ended up getting the "Batteries Included"
installer, and it appeared there. (But only in one of the four .exe's that
are up on Sourceforge. :-/ )

I pulled the bits down, so will try the build tonight....

By the way, Daniel, how did you download the forest extension? The Mercurial
wiki didn't have a good download link that I could find--the only link I saw
took me off to a changeset/revisions page....?
