If you are at the beginning level in JavaFX, you can use Scene Builder(JavaFX Scene Builder 1.x Archive ).

Set size of root component, under the layout tab, in the size section, PREF_WIDTH and PREF_HEIGHT fields.

And your code can be like this.

Scene scene = new Scene(root);

Also setting the size of the scene does not equals setting the size of the window. Window (stage) may have additional decorations and border width/insets. The size of the window can be directly set on the stage itself.

So you have 3 "layers" of dimensions:

  • The min, pref, max size of the content (when the content is resizable) AS WELL AS the actual size of the content (those may be different). You have properties for all 4. Depending how you define your content some may not be realized before the content is displayed at least once.
  • The initial size of the scene upon creation which may not be respected when the content is layed into it.
  • The size of the stage itself. If not set, it may or may not attempt to adapt itself to the size of the scene OR its content.

What happens if you leave the scene size blank and root layout takes width and height ?

Use the right way for dynamic window size : https://gist.github.com/omernaci/94c767e519139464edc7a8092cabd415

Be very happy if you share your thoughts, thanks for relating.

You can replace all your calls to AWT classes with the JavaFX javafx.stage.Screen class instead. Except for that I do not see what would be the issue here? What are you trying to achieve with this simple test?

As for your question, usually it takes the preferred / computed dimensions. Now again it depends of what's your content. Groups and basic nodes are not resizable for example, whereas most layouts and controls (anything that inherit from Region) are.

Also ScrollPane allows for things to go out of display
