JFXPanel with WebView in JDK8

[Lidierth Malcolm]

NOTE: THIS EXCEPTION OCCURS WITH JDK8, BUT NOT WITH JDK7

public class NewFXMain1 {

     public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, 
InvocationTargetException {

         EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {

             // Create the Swing components on the EDT
             @Override
             public void run() {
                 JFrame f = new JFrame();
                 f.getContentPane().setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 
500));
                 f.pack();
                 f.setVisible(true);
                 final JFXPanel jfx = new JFXPanel();
                 f.getContentPane().add(jfx);

                 // FX Thread
                 Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
                     @Override
                     public void run() {
                         WebView browser = new WebView();
                         WebEngine webEngine = browser.getEngine();
                         // This is a reference to a web page on the 
Waterloo web site
webEngine.load("http://waterloo.sourceforge.net/devwebpage/MathJax/mathjax.html");
                         Scene s = new Scene(browser);
                         jfx.setScene(s);
                     }
                 });

             }
         });
     }
}


This gives (Note: using JDK8 and Running from NetBeans 7.4):
