JavaFX - VERY BASIC Sample application

Main.java

package main;

import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Main extends Application
{

	// *** SKELETON ***
	Scene scene; // The primary "Window", which according to JavaFX is a "Scene".
	
	StackPane layout; // The layout which holds all the components.
	
	// *** COMPONENTS ***
	Button button; // Only necessary for this example.
	
	/**
	 * Main Method to launch the application.
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		launch(args); // Part of the Application class.
	}
	
	@Override
	public void start(Stage primaryStage)
	{
		primaryStage.setTitle("The window/stage titlebar text");
		
		// *** INSTANTIATE ***
		layout = new StackPane();
		
		button = new Button();
		
		// *** SET TEXT ***
		button.setText("Click Me"); // Can also be passed as a parameter to the Button Constructor.
		
		// *** LISTENERS ***
		button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>()
		{
			
			@Override
			public void handle(ActionEvent event)
			{
				System.out.println("Button clicked.");
			}
		});
		
		// *** LAYOUT ***
		layout.getChildren().add(button);
		
		// *** CREATE ***
		scene = new Scene(layout,300,250); // Window dimensions being passed in here.
