The latest Kepler 2.3.0 rc3 continues to display a blank intro window under
Windows Server 2008 when run with Java 1.7:


$ /cygdrive/C/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.7.0/bin/java -version
java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)

Administrator at JOULE /cygdrive/c/Program FIles/Kepler-2.3
$ /cygdrive/C/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.7.0/bin/java -jar kepler.jar

Then do Help -> Kepler Documentation,
and click on
"background information on Ptolemy"
I get a blank page that has
jar:file:!/ptolemy/configs/ptinyKepler/intro.htm in the title.

The problem occurs when I run from the command line or via kepler.exe.
In both cases, Java 1.7 is being used.



However, the problem does *not* occur under Windows Server 2008 with 
Java 1.6 when I invoked:

$ /cygdrive/C/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_26/bin/java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)

Administrator at JOULE /cygdrive/c/Program FIles/Kepler-2.3

/cygdrive/C/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_26/bin/java -jar kepler.jar

The problem also does not occur under Windows 2003 when Kepler is invoked
with Java 1.6

Note that Windows Server 2008/Java 1.7 is quite close to Windows 7, so this
bug could be quite common.

I can replicate this using the Ptolemy II nightly build under Java 1.7, so
I'll take a look.
