Thanks much Henri!

As a prerequisite to using OpenJDK, we'd ask that you install the Apple Java Developer Preview at:
<https://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=20920>

This preview will ensure that you have a /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines directory to land the 1.7.0.jdk into, as well as the new API that OpenJDK is now relying on.

Thanks again to everyone for your testing, and contributions,
