Does anyone know when this fix gets into the Oracle JRE 7 stream? The latest Oracle java u21 still has this position bug. We are releasing our software soon, and we have to write a note to install OpenJDK u12 to get it working on Mac, which is less than ideal.

Sounds like this bug was fixed last year, I wasn't expecting it to take so long to get into the main stream. The defect says: Fixed Versions: 7u40, which is a worry as we are currently on 7u21. I'm wondering if that (7u40) is a future placeholder that means it isn't in plan and is unlikely to come in soon. Anyone know how to apply pressure to get this in earlier? It would be a shame if Java3D on MacOS will only work on Java8 when it comes out.
