We should document that users should also install:

> If a RHEL user installs Oracle Java 1.7 through `yum install` and not from a direct download from Oracle, they cannot select JavaFx as the browser engine
> The issue is that if a RHEL user installs these packages:
> java-1.7.0-oracle-1.7.0
> java-1.7.0-oracle-devel-1.7.0
> It may appear as though the full JDK has been installed as the "devel" package installs javac - however, the JavaFx libraries are not installed. As a result, the user cannot specify JavaFx as the browser engine in the BrowserSim preferences. (See attached screenshot.)
