When javapackager is started with just absolute path of it and with incompatible (old) java in PATH, it fails with such an error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/sun/javafx/tools/packager/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

Clearly, this is caused by using incorrect java from PATH.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install, for example, JDK 7 and set up it's executables in the PATH variable
2) Run "javapackager -version" (for old releases: javafxpackager) from the new release (for instance, JDK 8u20)
3) Get the error
