Ubuntu, JavaFX, A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment

Question

I have installed ubuntu 14.04.02 x64, oracle jdk 1.8.4 and I try to run JavaFX8 project but I get this message in eclipse(not every time however):

============================================================

It doesn't happen every time but most of it. Usually there is no problem right after I start eclipse and run my program for the first time.

I looked in the internet for the answer and tried this:

sudo unlink /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsoup-2.4.so.1

and also this:

I've tried adding the the below line to the end of eclipse.ini, but Eclipse can't start at all:

org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
I think there is some typo error, the line should be:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
and this worked for me.

but nothing helps.... I don't know what to do.

EDIT: There is no problem when I run the same code on Windows.

EDIT2 I have found out that when I use static variable like this:

Stage primaryStage = Main.primaryStage;
primaryStage.setMaximized(true);

this causes the error.

First of all, setting options for SWT won't help you when you're looking for JavaFX problems. SWT is only used inside of Eclipse. A JavaFX application is started as a new process and won't notice that SWT is used by another Java application on the same computer.

From the stack trace, it looks like a local event loop (GtkApplication.enterNestedEventLoopImpl) has detected an "key press" event (process_events -> WindowContextBase::process_key). There seems to be an event handler for this on the JavaFX side since the code next tries to call a void method (JNIEnv_::CallVoidMethod) and then it crashes.

I'm not sure how a static field could have an effect here; also key presses aren't rare, so this should be code which is well tested.

Also, JavaFX seems to use Gtk 2 (libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0) which means the themes for Gtk 3 which cause an endless stream of problems in SWT and Eclipse are out of the picture. But still, maybe you or someone selected a "nicer" theme for the desktop than the default used by Gtk 2. I suggest to:

1. Try to reset the theme to the default
2. Install the latest patches for your Linux
3. Create a stripped down version of the code which just contains the problem.
4. Try to run a "Hello World" app for JavaFX and some of the demos.
5. If that fails, try to open a bug against OpenJDK: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa

Update

I have filled the bug report into javafx jira. the link is this (link to the bug).
And I have tried to reproduce my error on my laptop (mac with oracle jdk 1.8.0_45) and also tried with ubuntu in virtual box (ubuntu 14.04 with the same version of jdk) but the error didn't happen.

And the last time in chat room, you said you had a problem using open jdk in eclipse. so, could you try to run the application using open jdk but from command prompt? you could try to run it using this command (assuming you have configured the jdk properly).

java -cp .:controlsfx-8.20.8.jar:mysql-connector-java-5.1.35-bin.jar model.Main

---

seems like a bug of javafx link to duplicate bug. though it's marked as a duplicate of this issue link to original bug.

based on the status of the issues, the bug has been addressed, so maybe you could try to update your jdk to the latest version and see whether the issue still occur or not.
