import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class SysTray extends Application {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Application.launch(SysTray.class, args);
     @Override
     public void start(final Stage s) throws Exception {
          Group rootGroup=new Group();
          Scene scene=new Scene(rootGroup, 800, 600);
          s.setScene(scene);
          Button hide=new Button("hide");
          hide.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
               @Override
               public void handle(ActionEvent paramT) {
                    s.hide();
          BorderPane mainPane=new BorderPane();
          mainPane.setCenter(hide);
          scene.setRoot(mainPane);
          s.setVisible(true);
}

That's interesting. I just checked and it looks like http://download.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/stage/Stage.html#close%28%29 is also an alias for setVisible(false);
A little weird that they would have two aliases for such a thing. I'm guessing that setVisible isn't supposed to end the application, but what with JavaFX still being in Beta, the given functionality is acting as a placeholder. Maybe you should check [url http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/]Jira to see if this is already an issue. If not, you should probably file it to make sure.
