[7u communication] OpenJDK 7u6 src bundle available

[Jeroen Frijters]

Thanks for the quick release of the source bundle.

While working on integrating this in IKVM.NET I noticed something strange. The OpenJDK version of javax.swing.JComponent has a hide() method, while the closed source JDK version doesn't (both versions are 1.7.0_06-b24).

I was under the impression that as of 7 the proprietary JDK releases were made from the same code as the OpenJDK releases. Do you have any idea what caused this difference?

Regards,
Jeroen
