Description
Cannot run FX applets in Java 7 and 8 install and Java 8 is disabled via JCP.

Follow steps from https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8028644.
1) Install JRE 8u5
2) Install JRE 7u55
3) Disable JRE 8u5 via JCP on Java tab.
4) Run http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/2/samples/Ensemble/index.html

Note: I tried several more FX applets and non of then works.
Browser will give error:
JavaFX application could not launch due to system configuration (show error details). See java.com/javafx for troubleshooting information.

Reproducible on Windows 7 with IE, Firefox and Chrome. Did not tried on other platforms.

Java.com and AWT applets seems to work fine in this configuration.

Comments
Targeting for 8u20, since it blocks investigation of JDK-8028644.
