JavaFX 8.0

[Kevin Rushforth]

Correct. This will be just starting with JDK8 as changing the major 
version number for 2.x would be incompatible (and could not even be 
considered as long as we still support JDK6 on Windows with a standalone 
FX 2.x bundle).

Btw, here is the current planned mapping:

JDK   FX
----  -----
7u7   2.2.1
7u8   2.2.2
7u9   2.2.3
7u10  2.2.4
8     8.0
