JDK-7132692 - [macosx] Class com.apple.eawt not functioning
Description
JIRA issue: http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT-789

Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20120126-a4f43b63197d) (#a4f43b63197d)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.7.2 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_04-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.0-b12; Oracle Corporation
Runtime = Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_04-ea-b227


com.apple.eawt.PreferencesHandler registered in com.apple.eawt.Application ins't being invoked and clicking 'Preferences' menu item does nothing.

com.apple.eawt.AboutHandler isn't being invoked as well and clicking 'About' menu item shows some sort of default about dialog window.

This is a critical issue for NetBeans IDE as we're trying to look as native-like as possible when running on Mac OS X.
