It is somewhat less clear as to the usage on jdk7u builds, the reason being (as was mentioned) that the NONCOREPKGS list was not updated and so code that uses these APIs doesn't compile with 7 unless you do something special. As the latter doesn't appear to have brought a crowd with pitchforks onto the streets then it might be a sign of slow adoption or maybe it means that folks are compiling with JDK 6 and deploying to 7.

Something is not making sense here. As mentioned earlier I used Apple extension FileManager methods with my trz package below. That was specifically written against nio.2, which means it requires java 7 to compile and run. It does both - unless this compile breaking thing is more recent than when I did the FileManager using parts?
