Hmm, This is a  suspicious, however in comparsion with openjfx as packed for fedora, it have quite
few more classes. Continued with this jar of yours.

Unluckily, I od not know what is in thi binaries,nor do I fullyunderstand why alex went with his
custom C luncher. On contrary, I know windows is not exactly happy with .bat files...

Thanx. I was able to run this without issues in my default setup, (with the chirswhocode's fx jar).
And at the end I reproduced your issue.

It had hapened, that you have fx jar only on classpath., ITW needs it on bootclasspath.
If you lunch it as eg:

-Xbootclasspath/a:/home/jvanek/icedtea-web-image/share/icedtea-web/netx.jar:/usr/share/java/js.jar:/usr/share/java/tagsoup.jar:/home/jvanek/Desktop/fx/ext/jfxrt.jar

Then it will work for you.

I know that the bat files you got from
http://icedtea.wildebeest.org/download/icedtea-web-binaries/1.7.1 are lacking this. You can simply
edit them to make it work.
For full example see the shell launchers:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web/file/6b6da5f22c26/shell-launcher/launchers.sh.in

The windows support in itw 1.7.1 is clumsy. Future 1.7.2 will have it much better, and 1.8 will no
longer have those terrible .bat launchers, but will have fully featured bianries for you. So it
should be good.

Patches for .bat launchers welcomed. I do not maintain them.
