VisualVM Profiling JavaFX Applications

Question

I am trying to profile a JavaFX 8 application with VisualVM (Java 8). While the processor fetch is working fine, when the CPU profiling starts, the application just freezes, and VisualVM reports as a "profiling" status (0 methods with tools). "

I tried to limit profiling for my application classes, but to no avail. Did I miss something?

This is most likely caused by a lambda expression (s). They are currently constantly throwing ClassNotFoundException s, see the Error Report here: https://java.net/jira/browse/VISUALVM-601

Updated: with version 1.3.9 this problem has been resolved.
