So simple! Thanks.

The curious thing is that if you multiply with (exact) 1 you get

NIntegrate[1*BesselJ[0,x],{x,0,Infinity},Method->Oscillatory]
NIntegrate::oscfm: With Method->Oscillatory, the integrand should be a
product of an oscillatory function w[x] and another function f[x] , as
NIntegrate[ w[x] f[x],{x,a,Infinity}, Method->Oscillatory]. The
function w should be Sin, Cos, BesselJ, or BesselY, and f[x] should be
of the form a + b x^n for constant a and b. More...
NIntegrate[1 BesselJ[0,x],{x,0,¥},Method®Oscillatory]

while for e.g.

NIntegrate[3*BesselJ[0,x],{x,0,Infinity},Method->Oscillatory]
3.


Any suggestions?
