here is the jstack of the hanging JavaAppLauncher.

The problem seems to be here:

"AppKit Thread" daemon prio=5 tid=0x00007f9c92036000 nid=0x507 runnable [0x00007fff50456000]
java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE
at sun.lwawt.macosx.LWCToolkit.doAWTRunLoop(Native Method)
at sun.lwawt.macosx.LWCToolkit.invokeAndWait(LWCToolkit.java:549)

at sun.lwawt.macosx.CAccessibility.invokeAndWait(CAccessibility.java:75)
at sun.lwawt.macosx.CAccessibility.getFocusOwner(CAccessibility.java:521)

It looks like this thread is in a loop. Do you see high CPU usage when the problem occurs?

I think the references to CAccessibility in this stack trace mean that Java accessibility support has been enabled. Have you changed any accessibility settings on the Mac, or are you using any other programs that might have done this?

Edit: This appears to be a known bug in Java. See this page for more information. Can you revert to Java 7u25 as suggested by one of the comments in the bug report?
