Java 7 is not in beta mode and hasn't been for a while now, but Oracle doesn't consider it to be "consumer-ready" just yet since they're still not sure whether major Java apps compiled using older Java versions are running well under Java 7. Oracle is typically being cautious and wants to wait and see to be absolutely sure that Java 7 has no problems before considering it ready for mass consumption. Even their latest Oracle database product is still using an ancient Java version. It's kinda like how NASA still sticks with older but proven technologies for mission critical components.
I'll clarify that it's not beta but still not fully supported.
