Hi Scott,

makes sense. I have to keep that in mind for next time. I guess there 
also has to be some code for common dialog tasks, e.g.

- show dialog centered on app or on parent window
- modal or modeless
- standard handling of ok/cancel/etc buttons (e.g. know when to close 
the dialog)
- data validation before close
- pass a dialog result to the caller

This is not rocket science but I very much would like to see some 
standard API for that. Maybe it even makes sense to have skeleton 
JDialog/Stage classes which bring their own set of buttons. Otherwise 
you have this ok button in the JFXPanel node but the JDialog does not 
know when it was clicked.
