JavaFX Tip 12: Define Icons in CSS

When you are a UI developer coming from Swing like me then there is a good chance that you are still setting images / icons directly in your code. Most likely something like this:

import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;

public class MyLabel extends Label {

    public MyLabel() {
        setGraphic(new ImageView(MyLabel.class.
            getResource("image.gif").toExternalForm()));
    }
}
