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

[Leonid Romanov]

Hi,
Thanks for the links. I've skimmed through them and it looks like most of them are about Apple Java. There are one or two links where people are reporting 7u25 causing troubles, however, there is not enough evidence to conclude that it is the same problem as with Apple Java.
