How to get JavaFX 2 to detect an existing installation on Linux systems?

Working with JavaFX 2-generated JNLPs , I found that JavaFX comes with an Ant task that creates a JAR with a built-in launcher.

On Windows systems, the launcher automatically detects an existing JavaFX installation on PATHand uses it to satisfy application dependencies.

I could not get the same wrapped JAR to work on Linux systems. JavaFX the latest version of linux build is installed, and I put its directory libon mine PATH, but all I see is a message box (AWT) telling me to install JavaFX.

Since I learned about the (so far) lack of JNLP support for linux yesterday, my question is twofold: Can the wrapper build installations on linux, or is this function not yet implemented? What prerequisites do I need to fulfill in order for it to detect my installation?

There is a similar question about a Mac OS related issue.
