Moving jfxrt.jar to ext folder – hopes for JavaFX7 backport?

[Randahl Fink Isaksen]

I just installed the latest JDK 1.7.0_21 and realized that I still had to carry out the manual step of moving jfxrt.jar into the ext folder before I could use JavaFX. I cannot help thinking it is this kind of hassle that raises the bar for new developers getting started with JavaFX. 

I reckon we all want the most efficient adoption of JavaFX possible, but I can see in Jira that the fix for this is scheduled for JavaFX8. Now that JavaFX8 has been delayed until 2014, I was wondering if there was any plans to backport the the fix to JavaFX7, so it would not take another year before JavaFX starts to work out of the box?

Thanks
