I add that since it has been said that, unlike Spring, JavaFX 2 is more  
designed for composition in place of inheritance, let's rather focus on  
verifying that there's a good design in this sense and eventually ask for  
a better one when needed. I mean, rather than subclassing, perhaps that  
quick fix can be done by composition?
