Building from source code

[Danno Ferrin]

If you are going to be playing with Java 8, use the JavaFX 8 repos, the 2.1
repos don't play well with Java 8

 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8/master
 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8/master/rt

If you are using a current Java 7, use the 2.2 or 2.2.4 builds (7u9 or
7u10ea respectively).

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2/master
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2/master/rt

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2.4/master
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2.4/master/rt

 I may be wrong on 2.2.4, did that version number get bumped with the 7u7
patch?
