public class JFXPanel extends JComponent
`JFXPanel` is a component to embed JavaFX content into Swing applications. The content to be displayed is specified with the `setScene(Scene)` method that accepts an instance of JavaFX `Scene`. After the scene is assigned, it gets repainted automatically. All the input and focus events are forwarded to the scene transparently to the developer.

There are some restrictions related to `JFXPanel`. As a Swing component, it should only be accessed from the event dispatch thread, except the `setScene(Scene)` method, which can be called either on the event dispatch thread or on the JavaFX application thread.

Here is a typical pattern how `JFXPanel` can used:

        public class Test {

            private static void initAndShowGUI() {
                // This method is invoked on Swing thread
                JFrame frame = new JFrame("FX");
                final JFXPanel fxPanel = new JFXPanel();
                frame.add(fxPanel);
                frame.setVisible(true);

                Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        initFX(fxPanel);
                    }
                });
            }

            private static void initFX(JFXPanel fxPanel) {
                // This method is invoked on JavaFX thread
                Scene scene = createScene();
                fxPanel.setScene(scene);
            }

            public static void main(String[] args) {
                SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        initAndShowGUI();
                    }
                });
            }
        }

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing or JavaFX releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing and the same version of JavaFX.

Since:
  JavaFX 2.0

  Modifier and Type
  Method
  Description
  `void`
  `addNotify()`
  Notifies this component that it now has a parent component.
  `Dimension`
  `getPreferredSize()`

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### JFXPanel

    public JFXPanel()
    Creates a new `JFXPanel` object.

    Implementation note: when the first `JFXPanel` object is created, it implicitly initializes the JavaFX runtime. This is the preferred way to initialize JavaFX in Swing.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getScene

    public Scene getScene()
    Returns the JavaFX scene attached to this `JFXPanel`.
    Returns:
      the `Scene` attached to this `JFXPanel`

    Attaches a `Scene` object to display in this `JFXPanel`. This method can be called either on the event dispatch thread or the JavaFX application thread.
    Parameters:
      `newScene` - a scene to display in this `JFXpanel`
    See Also:
      - `EventQueue.isDispatchThread()`
      - `Platform.isFxApplicationThread()`

  - ### setOpaque

    public final void setOpaque(boolean opaque)
    `JFXPanel`'s opacity is controlled by the JavaFX content which is displayed in this component, so this method overrides `JComponent.setOpaque(boolean)` to only accept a `false` value. If this method is called with a `true` value, no action is performed.
    Overrides:
      `setOpaque` in class `JComponent`
    Parameters:
      `opaque` - must be `false`

  - ### isOpaque

    public final boolean isOpaque()

    Overrides:
      `isOpaque` in class `JComponent`
    Returns:
      a `false` value

  - ### processMouseEvent
