The easiest aproach is the following:

import javafx.application.Platform;
import javafx.embed.swing.JFXPanel;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

import org.junit.Test;

public class BasicStart {

    @Test
    public void testA() throws InterruptedException {
        Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                new JFXPanel(); // Initializes the JavaFx Platform
                Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {

                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        new Main().start(new Stage()); // Create and
                                                        // initialize
                                                        // your app.

                    }
                });
            }
        });
        thread.start();// Initialize the thread
        Thread.sleep(10000); // Time to use the app, with out this, the thread
                                // will be killed before you can tell.
    }

}

Hope it helps!
