I'm trying to run an application using JavaFX in mac os but I get this error: 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: getScaleFactor

I package the application in one jar using fat jar plugin for eclipse with and without jfxrt.jar, and the problem still exists

  • What Java Version do you run? – user432 Mar 27 '14 at 14:00
  • My first guess would have been an outdated java version but other than that from the stacktrace I can't think of the cause since JavaFX should be shipped with that version. – user432 Mar 27 '14 at 14:07

application in one jar using fat jar plugin

Don't do that. If you want to use that plugin, to package JavaFX applications, then log a feature request with the plugin creators to add JavaFX support to the plugin.

Use packaging methods which are aware of JavaFX and will correctly package your JavaFX application, for example:

There is a chance that onejar might work for you out of the box with Java 8 as some of the classloading rules for JavaFX changed to be more relaxed for Java 8, I guess you could try it and see if it works.

I package the application . . . with . . . jfxrt.jar

I don't recommend this unless you are packaging the entire JRE with the app. Reasons for not doing this are explained in the answer to: Maven project with JavaFX (with jar file in `lib`) (I know you are not using Maven, but the reasoning is similar).
