hg: macosx-port/macosx-port/jdk: Exporting the JNI interface via libjli to support BundleApp launching. Automatically picks client or server, or allows client code to specify via a JLI_ specific entrypoint.

[Mike Swingler]

Yes, it is still a work in progress, however Eclipse and other bundled apps will have to be re-bundled (or for Eclipse, it's launcher will need to be re-plumbed) to include a .jre or .jdk bundle inside of them.

OpenJDK-based bundles will probably never support any other JVMCapabilities beyond "CommandLine", because the Apple interfaces to each of the other capabilities are...odd, and the focus for apps (as well as the Oracle applet plug-in) is to bundle the .jre or .jdk that they require.
