SWT with Java 7 on Mac

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Nicholas,

Since the issues arise when using SWT, I suggest to start with filing a 
bug against SWT. If engineers working on the SWT issue diagnose the 
problem and conclude that this is a JDK bug, they will file a 
corresponding bug report against JDK then.
