This article implies that you need Java 6 to run JavaFX applets, but
doesn't come right out and say it:

It is also almost a year old.
Still looking.

Not really. From the FAQ: "JavaFX applications can run on any
Windows or Mac OS X desktop running Java 1.5 or higher."
JavaFX runtime is shipped with a rt15.jar, which is the rt.jar from
Java 1.5, precisely for wide compatibility reasons. Making some
developers to grunt because they want to use the 1.6 API...
Now, JavaFX probably runs better on latest Java...
