SceneBuilder src, or how to drag/size controls

[Jonathan Giles]

I can't speak to the first part of your email, but regarding resizing 
standard controls: as of JavaFX 8.0 Control extends from Region, so 
whilst I haven't tested Andrew's code, this should theoretically work. 
It would be worth testing, anyway :-)
