Using JavaFX

[Chris Root]

I don't know that this is even possible. I gave it a try but not being a java programmer I probably missed something. I tried to do an example that can be found at

 http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/get-started-tutorial/hello_world.htm

Trying to do the button import got me an error 

Error: Could not create class javafx.scene.control.Button

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Toolkit not initialized

var java = require('java');

java.classpath.push("commons-lang3-3.1.jar");

java.classpath.push("commons-io.jar");

var app = java.import("javafx.application.Application");

var evt = java.import('javafx.event.ActionEvent');

var ehandler = java.import('javafx.event.EventHandler');

var scene = java.import('javafx.scene.Scene');

//var button = java.import('javafx.scene.control.Button'); // caused error

var stackPane = java.import('javafx.scene.layout.StackPane');

var stage = java.import('javafx.stage.Stage');

So I tried doing the button in the start method

app.start = function(primaryStage){

var button = java.import('javafx.scene.control.Button');

var btn = new button();

btn.setText('Hello World');

//btn.setOnAction(new ehandler(evt));

var root = new stackPane();

root.getChildren().add(btn);

var scene = new scene(root,300,290);

primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");

        primaryStage.setScene(scene);

        primaryStage.show();

}

app.launch(null);

I wasn't sure how to so the event handler. executing this did absolutely nothing.

This might be totally utterly wrong and if so just be gentle with me. I would love to be able to do javafx apps in node but for all I know it might be impossible currently. Hoping someone can help.
