Some thoughts:
The ImageJ application launcher for Mac OS-X will require changing. I believe it is currently build with Apple’s jar bundler which expects to launch the bundled jar under Java 1.6.
Oracle offer their own Jar bundler which can be used instead and can launch with Java 7.
JWrapper might be worth considering if you want a single tool to build for OS-X/WIndows/Linux which can be build form a single platform (any one of the three). And also includes an option to bundle a JVM.
Java Webstart has given me no end of headaches over the last few years, particularly when Apple broke things such that currently deployed apps just stopped working (global support headache for me)
