JDK 7
7u76Fixed

The version info provided via the JAB GetVersionInfo function is wrong, e.g. using the Java Ferret tool with 7u45 shows:

    Java virtual machine version: 1.7.0_45
    Access Bridge Java class version: 1.7.0_45
    Access Bridge Java DLL version: AccessBridge 2.0.2
    Access Bridge Windows DLL version: AccessBridge 2.0.2

8 (first release) and 7u60 will show AccessBridge 2.0.4 for those latter two strings.

Now that the JAB is integrated, the latter two strings should display the Java version number, e.g. 1.7.0_45.

Also, the version numbers displayed when using Windows Explorer Properties dialog on any of the JAB DLLs should also be fixed.  Currently the version strings are:

7u45 DLLs: file version 2.0.7.0 , product version 2, 0, 3, 0 (and this is likely the case from 7u6).
7u60 b03 and 8 DLLs: file version 2.0.4.0 , product version 2, 0, 4, 0

The Properties dialog ...\jre\bin\java.dll for 7u60 b03 shows 7.0.600.3.  The JAB DLLs should be changed so the same info is returned.
