If the new Java Plug-In is run and a JDK 7 build is named in deployment.properties, applets will fail to load with the following exception:

This is happening because ProgressSource.getProgress() was changed to return a long instead of an int in JDK 7 in 5052093. Since the new plug-in needs to run on multiple JRE versions, we need to change the code in sun.plugin.util.ProgressMonitor() to call ProgressSource.getProgress() and the ProgressEvent constructor reflectively, or find another solution.
