The test are failures are mostly because the exclude list (jdk/test/ProblemList.txt) is not being maintained in jdk7u and also because a lot of test fixes from jdk8 have not been back-ported. There's a market opportunity here for anyone willing to put effort into cleaning up the tests in jdk7u.

Note that this is not a back-port from jdk8 as jdk8 has dozens of fixes that aren't in jdk7u-dev.  I've removed the test list in the jdk_awt and jdk_beans section of the file as they have not been touched in years (since Kelly originally set it up) -- this is consistent with what we did in jdk8 a long time ago as the folks in those areas to not use the exclude list.
