>Description:
I have installed openjdk7 and openjdk6, and over the past couple of nights I have been trouble shooting an issue with games/pcgen as part of the application was mysteriously and silently not functioning.

After much experimentation, and process of elimination, I deduced that it may have been related to the openjdk implementations. I hardcoded pcgen.sh to execute java from within ${LOCALBASE}/openjdk*/bin where * was either 6 or 7. Both versions failed identically. Attempted the same with jdk16 and diablo-jdk16 and both work as intended.

The problem appears to be that the openjdk variants lack some form of support for rendering collapsible menus like present in places of pcgen. Since I am uncertain on how denoting this should be handled, I am filing this PR to make it a known issue.
>How-To-Repeat:
nstall PCGen (current version is 5.16.2) under openjdk6 or 7, and launch the application. When presented with the source selection option, choose the advanced button at the bottom of the windows. This should then present you with a double pane window of sources available and sources to load. Under openjdk these windows appear blank instead of showing the hierarchical menus they should.
