Confused about status of JFX+JRE cobundling

[Igor Nekrestyanov]

And this is not much different what you do for Swing apps - these also 
need to be packaged specially to be doubleclickable.
For Swing you need manifest entry, for JavaFX few manifest entries + 
embedded java launcher (default launcher comes with bonus features -
helps to notify user if Java does not have JavaFX support and sets up a 
proxy if needed).

BTW, I am not arguing for not having JavaFX on classpath (in fact quite 
opposite :) ).
But at his point of time it seems unlikely this may happen in 7u6.
