And, I could just use regular File classes and then populate a control with that output (not sure how to do that yet)?
I've also read that Java FX isn't really that popular. Wondering how useful it will be.

Sounds right. You can setOnAction to launch anything you want.

Not sure what you mean. Populate a text field, for instance?

JavaFX has had some false starts, but it's on good footing now, I believe. It will catch on the more it's accepted.

But I like that with a little extra time you can create an efficient structure that can go in an FXML file or be created with relatively little code. Have you seen the code that Netbeans creates for Swing GUIs from their form builder? Yuck!

I wrote that without FXML. I'm currently working on a project that uses JavaFX and FXML. It's nowhere complete, but it demonstrates some cool things in JavaFX.
