- Appropriate Makefile changes (if needed)
Comments
Now that JavaFX is co-bundled with JDK (since 7u4 b14), this issue is irrelevant and hence need to be closed.

I had the same question. Where is this requirement coming from?

Do we really need a standalone installer for FX on the Mac? It was my understanding that Fx 2.1 will be pre-merged with JDK 7 releases, so what we really need is release engineering to get the FX and JDK 7 bits merged together so they will be installed at the same time.
