Syntax for linear gradient

Question

I'm getting:
WARNING: com.sun.javafx.css.parser.CSSParser linearGradient Using deprecated syntax for linear gradient at <filename & line #>. Refer to the CSS Reference Guide.
But I'm copying the syntax from the only reference guide I can find (no reference is included in the JDK)
http://download.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html

Answer 1

The docs in the SDK have the correct reference. You can find the ref by following the link from the class doc for Node. Here is the relevant section.
Linear Gradients <linear-gradient>
linear-gradient( [ [from <point> to <point>] | [ to <side-or-corner>], ]? [ [ repeat | reflect ], ]? <color-stop>[, <color-stop>]+)
where <side-or-corner> = [left | right] || [top | bottom]
Linear gradient creates a gradient going though all the stop colors along the line between the "from" <point> and the "to" <point>. If the points are percentages, then they are relative to the size of the area being filled. Percentage and length sizes can not be mixed in a single gradient function.
If neither repeat nor reflect are given, then the CycleMethod defaults "NO_CYCLE".
If neither [from <point> to <point>] nor [ to <side-or-corner> ] are given, then the gradient direction defaults to 'to bottom'.
Stops are per W3C color-stop syntax and are normalized accordingly.
This example will create a gradient from top left to bottom right of the filled area with red at the top left corner and black at the bottom right.
linear-gradient(to bottom right, red, black)
This is equivalent to:
linear-gradient(from 0% 0% to 100% 100%, red 0%, black 100%)
This more complex example will create a 50px high bar at the top with a 3 color gradient with white underneath for the rest of the filled area.
linear-gradient(from 0px 0px to 0px 50px, gray, darkgray 50%, dimgray 99%, white)
The following syntax for linear gradient does not conform to the CSS grammar and is deprecated in JavaFX 2.0. The JavaFX 2.0 CSS parser supports the syntax but this support may be removed in later releases.
linear (<size>, <size>) to (<size>, <size>) stops [ (<number>,<color>) ]+ [ repeat | reflect ]?
Radial Gradients <radial-gradient>
radial-gradient([ focus-angle <angle>, ]? [ focus-distance <percentage>, ]? [ center <point>, ]? radius [ <length> | <percentage> ] [ [ repeat | reflect ], ]? <color-stop>[, <color-stop>]+)
If neither repeat nor reflect are given, then the CycleMethod defaults "NO_CYCLE".
Stops are per W3C color-stop syntax and are normalized accordingly.
Following are examples of the use of radial-gradient:
radial-gradient(radius 100%, red, darkgray, black)
radial-gradient(focus-angle 45deg, focus-distance 20%, center 25% 25%, radius 50%, reflect, gray, darkgray 75%, dimgray)
The following syntax for radial gradient does not conform to the CSS grammar and is deprecated in JavaFX 2.0. The JavaFX 2.0 CSS parser supports the syntax but this support may be removed in later releases.
radial [focus-angle <number> | <number> ] ]? [ focus-distance <size> ]? [ center <size,size> ]? <size> stops [ ( <number>, <color> ) ]+ [ repeat | reflect ]?
