Building Openjfx on Centos 6.6

[Nick Pratt]

So I made some progress here:

I had installed Ubuntu 14.x 64-bit version.  Once I installed the ia32-libs
(replacement versions for Ubuntu 14 since ia32-libs) isnt available
anymore, I got the ARM HF to build.  I installed on my Pi, but Im getting
link errors when I try and run a JFX program:

java  -Djavafx.platform=monocle -Dmonocle.screen.fb=/dev/fb1 -jar
JavaFXApp.jar

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

So then I figured I try and get an Ubuntu 12.x 32-bit VM up and running and
use that for a OpenJFX build since this is mentioned in the OpenJFX wiki.
However, a clean install cant run sudo apt-get update due to missing
package definitions - have Ubuntu (or whoever maintains this set of repos)
removed the older 12.x packages (or started to)? I cant get gcc installed
or updated because of this - and this is a fresh install direct from the
Ubuntu 12.0.4 .iso

On a related note, its not clear to me what Im supposed to do after
compiling OpenJFX - what needs to be installed and where does it need to go
- JAVA_HOME/jre/lib ? (just replace everything in there?)
