JavaFX Release Notes
This JDK release includes JavaFX version 2.2.71.
Selecting a Suitable JDK 7 Release
In this release, both JDK 7u71 and JDK 7u72 products are available. JDK 7u71 (CPU) contains vulnerability fixes and JDK 7u72 (PSU) contains all of the fixes from 7u71 plus some additional non-critical stability fixes.
Use JDK 7u71 release unless you need one of the additional fixes found on the JDK 7u72 release. For mission critical applications you should test with the PSU release regardless of whether you chose to use the CPU or the PSU as the fixes on the PSU will be included in the next CPU.
