FX applets are run in Java 7 if Java 8 is disabled, after JDK-8042571 is resolved. FX did not run in Java 8 properly due to JDK-8042571.

Cannot verify FX applets until JDK-8042571 is resolved.

Works fine for AWT applets. Initially it will start Java 8, but actual applet will run by Java 7.

Java.com seems to works properly and if I disable Java 8, then it will run and detect Java 7. Tested with 7u55 and 8u5.

Deferral Justification: ILW = MML -> P4. Workaround is to uninstall jre8 if (this is probably more an issue for internal testing that external users)
