Answer 1

A bit cleaner solution with property binding:

    HBox buttonLayout = new HBox();
    buttonLayout.getChildren().add(button1);
    buttonLayout.getChildren().add(button2);

    int btnCount = buttonLayout.getChildren().size();
    button1.prefWidthProperty().bind(buttonLayout.widthProperty().divide(btnCount));
    button2.prefWidthProperty().bind(buttonLayout.widthProperty().divide(btnCount));
