Description
The change for CR 7148287 enabled JavaFX to be cobundled with the JDK for Mac OS X and Linux, in addition to the cobundling of the installer on Windows platforms.

We have been informed by release management that we cannot release JavaFX 2.1 for Linux as part of JDK 7u4 because JavaFX 2.1 for Linux will be released under a beta license, so we must not release it as part of a JDK / FX cobundled on that platform for 7u4 and 7u5. It should be disabled on Linux for both 7u4 and 7u5 master builds so that the promoted builds for Linux do not include JavaFX.

The easiest way to do this is to set the following variable in the 7u4 and 7u5 Hudson jobs:

export ALT_JAVAFX_SDK_FILEPATH=""

Comments
EVALUATION Commenting out the following code in install/make/common/javafx.gmk # ifeq ($(PLATFORM), linux) # FXTARGETS += javafx-on-linux # endif
