Let me know if you need full stack trace or anything else.

It's line 171 of impl.org.controlsfx.ReflectionUtils that's the problem. On that line, a method with the signature

public static Optional<TableHeaderRow> getTableHeaderRowFrom(TableViewSkinBase<?, ?, ?, ?, ?> skin) {

is declared, and later (line 173), that method tries to reflectively access a method which doesn't exist:

Method method = skin.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("getTableHeaderRow");

getTableHeaderRow() doesn't exist anywhere in the JavaFX API, which makes me think the author meant to call TableHeaderRow.createTableHeaderRow(). This is the only method in JavaFX which returns a TableHeaderRow.

Note that this Exception currently can't even be hidden by the user of ControlsFX, because the code catches it and prints a stack trace (lines 176 & 177):

} catch (IllegalAccessException | InvocationTargetException | NoSuchMethodException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();

I'm a bit swamped guys, I give anybody permission to try to fix this however they feel is appropriate. If it's not fixed when I get some free time, I'll try to resolve it.
