JavaFX Ensemble Issue

[Joe McGlynn]

Hi Folks,

The problem is that the version of the deployment toolkit javascript used in this specific Ensemble deployment is a copy from an older release of Java.  The "best practice" for deployment is to use the always-updated version from java.com.  I suspect this happened because Ensemble was deployed before the version of DT that supports FX was released.

We'll have it corrected shortly.

The app that gave me trouble was built using the jfx packaging tool (which does some wiggy stuff with signing, pre-launchers, etc) and I thought worked on some computers but not others but too long ago to be sure.
