I'm developing on Linux a simple WebApp i got the same error, but is really easy to fix it (assuming you are developing on the command line as myself).

cat compile.sh 
 #!/bin/bash

 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_25/bin/javac WebViewSample.java  -cp /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_25     
 /jre/lib/jfxrt.jar

 $ cat run.sh 
 #!/bin/sh
 JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_25/bin/
 CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_25/lib/jfxrt.jar:. 

 $JAVA_HOME/java -cp $CLASSPATH WebViewSample $* 2>&1 /dev/null | awk -F\| '{ print  $2"|"$3  ; exit $1 }'

 exit $?
