Let me update and give it a try.

I always use Ant, so I can make sure that works. I think maven support was added by contributions but I don't remember.

Doh!

> JavaFX 2.1 has been released for Windows and Mac but not for Linux. 
> Is there still work going on in the v2.1 repository or should we work on v2.2 now?

All the work is in 2.2 now, 2.1 has shipped. 2.2 by the way has just passed feature freeze, so we're in bug fix mode and then we'll be switching to 3.0 within the next month! 2.2 was a short release window.

Cheers
