We just had Java 7u7 released so there is u8 and u9 before we get to 7u10 where this is currently fixed.  It seems so far away. I'm guessing this is definitely not going to make 7u8?

JavaFX has this issue on OS X and Swing has bug #7160713 on Windows. QA isn't happy when there is a good chance that your application will crash when a user tries to open a document or save their work.)
