JFXPanel security exception

I updated to 1.7.0_67-b01 and now it seems I can't embed a JavaFX panel in my swing application. This is the exception I get. Anyone knows a workaround?

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.util.PropertyPermission" "javafx.macosx.embedded" "write")

You should modify your policy file ($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/javaws.policy) to include permissions to write this property. So, you should add this line to javaws.policy:

permission java.util.PropertyPermission "javafx.macosx.embedded", "write";

It seems to be the old bug

I tried what's suggested in this post and it works.

I add the permission programmatically.

PropertyPermission propertyPermission = new PropertyPermission("javafx.macosx.embedded", "write");

However the permissions of the orginal policy are lost.
