OS X Users: Caution with latest Java update

[Johannes Barop]

Hey,

the latest update for OS X updates to Java 1.7. However lwjgl does have some problems with Java 1.7:

main:

LWJGL does not work with Java 1.7 on Mac (which is based on OpenJDK,
and no longer on the old Mac port). I have no idea if they're working
on it, but I can only hope so. It would be great to finally switch to
1.7.

However, I was not aware of any forced update to 1.7 on Mac OS. I have
1.6 installed and saw a 1.6 update just a few days ago.
