HEADS-UP: jfxrt.jar moving to jre/lib/ext

[Richard Bair]

> 3) Tools, scripts, programs that "know" where jfxrt.jar is relative to the root of the JRE will have to be adjusted accordingly, to either look for it in lib/ext or, if appropriate, just rely on the fact that it is now on the classpath. For example, when opening a JavaFX project in NB 7.2, it may not recognize your JDK8 as being JavaFX-capable. A future version of NB will add support for JDK 8 / FX 8.

We should make sure this is posted widely and easily discoverable via Google searches on "why doesn't Java 8 work with FX" or something along those lines.

> 4) Because we still include the javafx.embed.swt package in jfxrt.jar -- see http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-23041 -- applications that access javafx.embed.swt.FXCanvas will need to put the swt.jar library on the boot classpath in order for it to run.

Putting swt.jar on the normal class path won't cut it?
