JavaFX applets can not be launched on Mac OS X 10.7.4/ Safari 6 via fiile:/// .
Applet resources are all locally (no network access). The JavaFX samples can be used to reproduce the issue consistently
*** Tested Configuration:
- Mac OS X 10.7.4
- Safari 6.0 (7536.25)
- jre 7u6-b21 promoted build
- javafx_samples-2_2_0-beta-b19 samples
*** Steps to reproduce:
0) Install jre 7u6-b21
1) Get the JavaFX sample bundle and unzip everything to the test machine

2) Using Safari 6 to invoke one of the JavaFX samples from the step#2 (e.g BrickBreaker.html, Ensemble.html) as:
file:///<path-to-the-unzipped-javafx-sample>/BrickBreaker.html
If you see the applet fails to load, the loading logo spinning forever, the issue is reproducible
