BorderLayout in javafx

Question

Hey,
I need smth like BorderLayout from swing in javafx, but much simpler (only North and Center).
I used Vbox layout on scene with binding width and height values with scene size for autosizing all content inside scene.
First, in VBox I put ToolBar Control. This control fill space horizontally and it is good (like NORTH behaviiour)
But I want all other space was filling by other control eg Button.
I experimented with layoutInfo for Button, attributes: hfill=true, vfill=true, but control filled space only horizontally, not vertically.
How can i do this?
Ps.
Step 2 If I do this I want replace Button with Rectangle. Rectangle is not resizable so it's other story (jfxtras has ResizableRectangle)
Step 3 Then I want put this rectangle into Group as background (with linear gradient)
Step 4 Then I want put in Group, HBox and then put inside TreeView and other container.
In swing world it will be:
* Panel (BorderLayout):
******** NORTH: Toolbar
******** CENTER: Panel (BorderLayout) with background
****************** WEST: TreeView
****************** CENTER: Panel (...)
How can I get result as above in JavaFX?
Every clues will be important for me.
Ps. Many chaotic steps because i was trying experiment with javafx to understand how it works.
Thanks for advices.
