I had the same issue (except that it was java-8-oracle build 101) and found out why it was happening:
I have a login screen that appears before my main application and that screen gets closed after the login occurs and, apparently, closing it (or even hiding it) and showing a new window makes it crash.
It sounds like you're running JavaFX with Java 8 on Linux, and you've run into this bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8141687
App crashes while starting Main.class in JavaFx
ava version "1.8.0_60" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION : Mint17.2 Cinnamon 64Bit
SUGGESTION: Try a different version of Java/JavaFX.
Run sudo update-alternatives --config java
to see what alternatives are already present on your system. I would downgrade to Java 1.7 if possible.
If there are no suitable candidates, use apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
