When running an JavaFX 2 application developed using Visage the Application class fails to start it using the launch function. No Stage appears even though its visibility property is set to true in the overridden start function for the class that extends Application. Once the JavaFX 2 runtime is installed through javafx-2_0-beta-windows-i586.exe file the overriden start function is no longer called by the Application class.

No exceptions or any other errors appear when running the JavaFX 2 application via the console. The following link is to a comment made in another issue which shows how to set up Visage:

This link contains the source for a simple JavaFX 2 application which reproduces the problem:
