   public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        Button btn = new Button();
        btn.setText( " Say 'Hello World' " );
        btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                System.out.println( " Hello World! " );
            }
        });
        
        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(btn);
