Mustafa Musaji commented on TOOLSDOC-538:
-----------------------------------------

There's no recommended way that I know off, either the environment requires or dictates customers use "yum" or they have the flexibility and use the download from Oracle. So we should definitely document users install the javafx package as [~ldimaggio] pointed out if they use yum.

> 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.)
