AppContext issue in Apple Java 6 -- same issue in Oracle Java 7?

[Steve Kann]

Mike and Mac Java folks,

	First -- Mike -- thank you and Apple for so quickly fixing the Java 6 update!

	We've been experiencing similar issues with Java 7 -- specifically with webstart apps, but it seems that many others are seeing the same thing:

(here's my little list of links, some to Java 6, some to Java 7, with fallout):

	Does anyone know:

	- If this problem is also the problem which has been hosing Java 7u25?
	- If OpenJDK will be picking up a fix?
	- If Oracle will be releasing a fix?

Especially since on 10.7/10.8 Apple is now requiring 7u25 or later, it's hard to ask users to rollback to 7u21.

Thanks.
