JDK 7 for Mac OS X

Java SE 7 Update 4 turned out to be an exciting release for Mac users. This is the first release from Oracle to have a version of the JDK and JavaFX 2.1 SDK for the Mac OS X.

The first thing to note is this release is only for systems running Mac OS X Lion (v10.7.2) or later. Older Mac systems will be sticking to the Java for Mac JDK 6 versions previously released by Apple.

Also, this release doesn't support Java plugin and Java Web Start applications. This will be available in an upcoming JDK 7 release. There is a developer preview release for the JRE for Mac OS X with applet support available to try.

Have a look at the known issues section if you have any problems. NetBeans v7.1.2 supports the Java SE 7 Update 4 release.
