Convenience factories for Border and Background

[mariushanl at web.de]

   Hi Nir,

   this is a really good idea and something I want to see since the first
   time I used to set a Background/Border.
   I think a minimal constructor would be a nice first step.
   So instead of:

   - setBackground(new Background(new BackgroundFill(Color.BLACK,
   CornerRadii.EMPTY, Insets.EMPTY)))
   -> setBackground(new Background(new BackgroundFill(Color.BLACK)))

   and:

   - setBorder(new Border(new BorderStroke(Color.BLACK,
   BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID, CornerRadii.EMPTY,
   BorderStroke.DEFAULT_WIDTHS)))
   -> setBorder(new Border(new BorderStroke(Color.BLACK,
   BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID)))

   We may can go further from that and create something similar like the
   BorderFactory class in swing, where you can create a lot of different
   borders easily. (Same to Background)

   Betreff: Convenience factories for Border and Background
   Hi,
   Many times when I want to create a simple solid Background or Border,
   it is
   quite a hassle because of the configurability these classes have:
   new Border(new BorderStroke(Color. BLACK, BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID,
   null,
   null));
   new Background(new BackgroundFill(Color.BLACK, null, null));
   I was thinking of adding convenience factory methods
   Border.of(Paint stroke), or Border.stroke(Paint stroke)
   Background.of((Paint fill), or Background.fill(Paint fill)
   I was wondering if others would like this, or is everyone using CSS
   anyway?
