This is a backport of the issue from the JDK 8 to JDK 7. The only changes are that calls to NsCharToJavaVirtualKeyCode methods are updated because some key events are processed on the native level in JDK 7. The updated NsCharToJavaVirtualKeyCode calls use the isDeadChar=NO parameter because finally the dead keys are retrieved from the nsToJavaKeyInfo in the handleKeyEvent method from the CPlatformResponder class.
