JavaFX 2.0 Stage onClose event

Question

There is an event / handler to make some verification to confirm or not a stage close ?
There is onHiding() but this don´t cancel or block stage close.
Any idea ?

Couldn't find a way to keep the primary Stage open, but this is the closest I could get. See the documentation for Platform@runLater, particularly the guarantee that
The Runnables are executed in the order they are posted. A runnable passed into the runLater method will be executed before any Runnable passed into a subsequent call to runLater.

import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.FlowPane;

import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.stage.WindowEvent;
public class ConfirmClose extends Application {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Application.launch(args);
  @Override
  public void start(final Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setOnHiding(new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() {
      @Override
      public void handle(WindowEvent event) {
        Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
          @Override
          public void run() {
            primaryStage.setVisible(true);
        final Stage dialog = new Stage();
        dialog.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
        Label label = new Label("Really exit?");
        Button okButton = new Button("OK");
        okButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
          @Override
          public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
            dialog.hide();
            Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
              @Override
              public void run() {
                primaryStage.setOnHiding(null);
                primaryStage.hide();
        Button cancelButton = new Button("Cancel");
        cancelButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
          @Override
          public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
            dialog.hide();
        FlowPane pane = new FlowPane(10, 10);
        pane.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
        pane.getChildren().addAll(okButton, cancelButton);
        VBox vBox = new VBox(10);
        vBox.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
        vBox.getChildren().addAll(label, pane);
        Scene scene1 = new Scene(vBox);
        dialog.setScene(scene1);
        Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
          @Override
          public void run() {
            dialog.initOwner(primaryStage);
            dialog.setVisible(true);
    primaryStage.setVisible(true);
}Debugging shows that the Stage is actually hidden when the setOnHiding's EventHandler's handle(...) returns. It also shows that, unlike in Swing, showing a modal dialog doesn't suspend the application thread.
