I removed the Oracle 1.7 (move the folder to the trash and deleted the 
preference pane short cut), and reinstalled the Java for OS X 2013-005 
and the Java Developer Package for OS X 2013-005.

I can build again.

I am using Java 1.6, but have no immediate need to use the 1.7 version. 
 Still, it would be nice to know if anyone is building with the 1.7 
version from Oracle.



Thanks,
