Is it possible to set a JavaFX static property in CSS?

Question

Sample FXML with the BorderPanel.alignment \"static property\":

Answer 1

You can apply it programatically. For example if you want to center all the widgets of a GridPane, instead of writing GridPane.halignment="CENTER" in the XML declaration of each widget, you can do this in Java :

for(Node node : gridPane.getChildren())
{
    GridPane.setHalignment(node, HPos.CENTER);
}

Unfortunately I don't think you can factorize layouts as in Android :(
