Does Java 7 port support the apple.awt-use-dialog-packages system property

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Paul,

I've just filed this issue for you:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8026869

It is currently targeted for JDK 9. After it's fixed in the mainline, we 
can consider porting the fix to 8- and 7-update releases.
