It was later discovered that this wasn't quite enough. To be able to record sound you also need to specify a certain key in your Info.plist, NSMicrophoneUsageDescription. The value of this field is displayed to the user the first time the JDK wants to record sound. We also discovered that the way the JDK is laid out in the Macos specific bundle format, the global Info.plist is not actually considered when looking for this particular key, but rather the plist info we embed in the java executable.

We also noted that the bundle ID and version numbers had an effect on how this key was resolved, and to get somewhat better behavior, I'm also unifying the embedded values for those keys (which were hard coded today) with what we already put in the global Info.plist for the JDK. A followup bug where we more fully explore what the CFBundleIdentifier, CFBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString values should actually be is planned for a later release.
