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

[Anthony Petrov]

Concerning the libpng trouble at the 64-bit environment: this is a known 
issue, and it had already been fixed, though not integrated yet. I hope 
that it will hit the master repository as soon as pushes are allowed.

PS. Yes, even Sun employees cannot push their fixes into the JDK 7 yet. :)
