Full Screen Mode in JavaFX WebView

[Kevin Rushforth]

Thank you for filing the RFE. Since WebView is an embedded component in 
a JavaFX scene graph, I'm not sure how easily we can (or whether we want 
to) implement browser full screen, but we can take a look at it and see 
whether it makes sense as a future enhancement.

Note that a JavaFX application Stage can become full-screen via 
Stage.setFullScreen(true). If you set up your scene graph with a 
StackPane as the root and a WebView node is the only child of the root, 
then you should be able to accomplish the same thing.

> [WebView is an Embedded component and current it doesn't have full screen context menu (Like what we see in browser). WebView exposes two api setPrefWidth  & setPrefHeight, you can try setting it to max allowable view port size based on screen resolution. In addition (But I don't suggest), set the stage or group border to 0. But do NOTE that there won't be scroll bars visible, But you can drag the webpage]
