FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b84)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b09, mixed mode)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In Java 5 and Java 6 the Text rendering for JMenu and JMenuItem is made through SynthGraphicUtils - in Java 7 the relevant layout method is no longer called. Because we are using our own GraphicUtils class (derived from SynthGraphicUtils) to customize layout and rendering this breaks compatibility.

Some of our clients have about 5Mio. user base, so this is a critical issue.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Execute the attached test case. Some info will be printed at the error stream.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Some rendering info will be printed at the console.
ACTUAL -
No layout info appears at the console.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
