FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0-ea"

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows build of JDK/JRE (both 32-bit and 64-bit)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
java.exe. and javaw.exe are missing 'Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' dependency in their assembly manifests so that windows controls used from JVM via some native library (like SWT) are displayed without skins applied.

java version "1.7.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b106)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b05, mixed mode)
