Centering a label

Question

Hi,
I am trying to center a text in a label, but when I am setting alignment to Pos.CENTER or set for label -fx-alignment: CENTER in css - the label is still on the left side.
In javafx 1.3 there was a layoutInfo property, but in 2.0 there is no such property. Any ideas?
Btw, here is my code (in groovy):
class FxApp extends Application {
     * @param args the command line arguments
    static void main(String[] args) {
          Application.launch(FxApp.class, args);
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
          primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
          Region root = new Region();
          def scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250, Color.rgb(242, 242, 242));
          Label lbl = new Label(
               text: "Test",
               alignment: Pos.CENTER,
               height: 250,
               width: 300
          root.getChildren().add(lbl)
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.setVisible(true);
}ndrw

In javafx 1.3 there was a layoutInfo property, but in 2.0 there is no such property. Any ideas?In JavaFX 2.0, getChildren() has protected access in Parent and you can't call Region#getChildren() in your code. Try posting Java (not Groovy) code that compiles.
AFAIK Group and Region don't respect layouts. This centers the Label text in a Pane.import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class CenterAlignedLabel extends Application {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Application.launch(args);
  @Override
  public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
    Label lbl = new Label("Test");
    lbl.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
    lbl.setPrefSize(300, 250);
    Pane root = new Pane();
    root.getChildren().add(lbl);
    Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250, Color.rgb(242, 242, 242));
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.setVisible(true);
