It seems to me that JDK-8017174 is listed as fixed in build 34: http://download.java.net/jdk7u40/changes/jdk7u40-b34.html
But to be sure, you should probably test the early access release: http://jdk7.java.net/download.html Just my two cents, Holger 2013/8/2 Sam Reid <[email protected]> > JDK7 Team, > > My team expressed concern when I mentioned that the Java 7u40 release was > being pushed back two weeks to the second week of September. Our software > relies on Oracle's Java and Java Web Start to work, so this will make it > very difficult for fall classes to use our award-winning [1] educational > materials - used over 40 million times per year. I fear they will get a > negative impression both of our group and of Oracle software. I know that > many steps must be completed to release a new update to general > availability, but if there is anything that can be done to accelerate this > timeline it would be appreciated by us and our many users.

One more thing, JDK-8017174 is still not listed in the j7u40 > features & changes [2] even for build 35 so I am still a bit confused about > that. > > Thanks! > Sam Reid > PhET Interactive Simulations > University of Colorado Boulder > > [1] > http://thetechawards.thetech.**org/the-laureates/stories/1647<http://thetechawards.thetech.org/the-laureates/stories/1647> > [2] http://download.java.net/**jdk7u40/changes/jdk7u40-b35.** > html?q=download/jdk7u40/**changes/jdk7u40-b35.html<http://download.java.net/jdk7u40/changes/jdk7u40-b35.html?q=download/jdk7u40/changes/jdk7u40-b35.html> >
