Description
The NoJavaFXCallback class is used to check the JRE version. However it is an ancestor of the awt Component, so it loads AWT. When FX starts is thinks that it is running embedded which leads to a number of bugs.

SQE: To verify this: 1) Take any simple FX program (once that doesn't use Swing interop) 2) Use javafxpackager to generate a jar file 3) Run that file with "java -verbose:class ..." and verify that no AWT classes are loaded.

I think there might already be another issue filed relating to this (I'll look it up). I can work with Mark one this. We should no longer need NoJavaFXFallback in FX 8.

The problem is in the com.javafx.main.Main:62 - then we are checking if it's an old JRE using the NoJavaFXFallback class.
