fx:factory attribute

The fx:factory attribute can be used to initialize an element with a factory method instead of a constructor. The factory method must be accessible and parameterless. Type witnesses may be provided after the method name.

Usage

<StackPane>
    <fx:define>
        <FXCollections fx:factory="observableArrayList<String>" fx:id="list1">
            <String>foo</String>
            <String>bar</String>
            <String>baz</String>
        </FXCollections>
    </fx:define>
