SWT with Java 7 on Mac

Hi. I've submitted a number of bugs relating to using SWT with Java7 on the
Mac (see below) and am looking for advice on finding the right path to
getting them fixed.
The general problem, as I see it, is that it's not really clear if the
issues are in SWT or in Java 7, and thus which development group to ask for
advice on fixing them. None of the issues are present when using the
Apple-provided Java6, so it seems possible that things need to be resolved
in Java 7. On the other hand, because the issues arise when using SWT,
perhaps the problems actually need to be addressed there, to compensate for
changes in Java 7.
Here's the list of bug.
- Oracle Bug #2366830 (no link cause doesn't show up in bug database) SWT
app using AWT does not receive Dock's Quit event
- https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=389486 App freeze when
going fullscreen using Java 7 on Mac
- https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388886 Table/tree rubber
banding does not work with Java 7 on Mac
The first one (submitted to Oracle) is a show-stopper for bundling Java 7
with an app, imho.
So my questions is, what's the best way to attack these bugs? From the SWT
side or from the Java 7 side?
Thanks for any help and advice.
Nick
