Error playing video with vlcj

I'm developing a media player using vlcj 3.8 library, JDK 1.8 and Netbeans. When I follow these instructions exactly the project gives me the following errors:

[00007ffc078e7b38] core vout display error: Failed to change zoom
[00007ffc078e7b38] core vout display error: Failed to set on top
[00007ffc078e7b38] core vout display error: Failed to change source AR.


Here is the complete log:

From official site

On OSX, there are potentially critical limitations if you use any version of Java after the 1.6 version. This is because in Java 1.7 on OSX there is no longer any "heavyweight" window toolkit, everything is lightweight. This is a problem because VLC requires the window handle of a heavyweight window so it can be told where to render the video into. What this means in practice is that the EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent will not work on any Java version later than 1.6 on OSX. All is not lost, but life is harder for you as an application developer, since you will need to use a DirectMediaPlayerComponent instead.

We need to see you code, because we need to know wich component you use.
