JDK 7 Mac Port Preview b217 Available

[Scott Palmer]

I filed a bug about this as well.. months ago (July 30th, 2011).

http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT-203

Glad to see that at least one person can reproduce it.  I just don't understand how anyone can be testing all the AquaUI porting stuff on a daily basis when you can't even run a GUI app!
