JNLP-run JavaFX application hangs in full screen on Mac

Question

Hi all,
I am on Mac OS X 10.9 running JDK 7u45.
I have the JNLP file below:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/jnlpTester">
<information>
<title>Title</title>
<vendor>Vendor</vendor>
</information>
<resources><jfx:javafx-runtime version="2.1+"/></resources>
<resources><jar href="lib/jnlpTester.jar" main="true"/></resources>
<application-desc main-class="application.JNLPTester"/>
<security><all-permissions/></security>
</jnlp>
The jar file (jnlpTester.jar) contains the following JavaFX application:
package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class JNLPTester extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        Parent root = new ListView<>();
        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 275));
        primaryStage.show();
The application starts without any problem (see http://tinypic.com/r/29glonq/5). However, when I click on the full screen icon, the application does not go to full screen and the interface hangs (see http://tinypic.com/r/2mwizk/5). When I run the application from my IDE (eclipse) there is no such problem (see http://tinypic.com/r/2gsleep/5).
Would anyone have any idea about this?
Many thanks in advance,
Hayrettin

No it's simple, but it's not exactly what you are looking for. What I use this for is just to be able to watch a video like an .avi on my tv while surfing the web or writing a document. I hook up the computer to the tv via HDMI and then set the screens up in extended mode(not mirroring) then just drag the VLC window to the TV screen and choose VLCs full screen once the video has started. The problem is it still acts like one monitor so if you do a desktop or full screen swipe on the MBP both screens swipe resulting in the video missing from the TV. So, as I said not excatly what you want, but works to some extent.
