Java 7 and Application.setOpenURIHandler

[AJ Gregory]

I submitted a bug for this but it's been "not available" for a few weeks:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=9000081

Can anybody comment on this issue with the
Application.setOpenURIHandler and custom protocols?

Custom protocols really are useful especially now that applets are
dying a slow death with everybody disabling java in their browser...

Thanks,
-Aj
