JavaFX Production Suite 1.2 on Linux

So they have finally added support for JavaFX in Linux.  but the JavaFX Production Suite hasn’t been migrated yet.  Which is understandable, because the Adobe Suite isn’t exactly ported over, but you can still use the SVG Converter.  To port it over you first need to download the JavaFx Production Suite 1.2 Windows package.
Next run the cabextract utility, to pull all of the files out of the Windows executable (in the Debian distros, you should be able install cabextract with a - sudo apt-get install cabextract).  Just move the javafx_production_suite-1_2-windows-i586.exe to a separate directory and then run the cabextract from the command line:

cabextract javafx_production_suite-1_2-windows-i586.exe

Ultimately all you need is the svg2fx.jar file, and then you can run the interface with:

java -Xmx512M -classpath ./svg2fx.jar com.sun.javafx.tools.svg2fx.main.UIMain

If all of that sounds too annoying you can just download the jar file and the script to launch it from here.
