JavaFX - Mouse Event not triggering

Question

Here is my code :

Button start = new Button("Start");
 start.setPrefHeight(100d);
 start.setMaxWidth(Double.MAX_VALUE); 
 start.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>(){
 @Override
 public void handle(MouseEvent arg0) {
 //ss.startServer();
 System.out.println("adfasddasfrwgafsdasdf");
 }
 });

The message does not get printed on the console at eclipse! I want the event to trigger when the mouse is released. What am I doing wrong?

Upon furthet investagation I realised that if I have another mouseReleased event on another node , it will fire more events!... why is that? For example , here is the code I am using, when I press the start button , it prints Start and Reload!

 start.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>(){
 @Override
 public void handle(MouseEvent arg0) {
 ss.startServer();
 System.out.println("Start");
 arg0.consume();
 }
 });
 Button stop = new Button("Stop");
 stop.setPrefHeight(100d);
 stop.setMaxWidth(Double.MAX_VALUE);
 stop.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>(){
 @Override
 public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
 sc.stopServer();
 System.out.println("Stop");
 event.consume();
 }
 });
 Button reload = new Button("Reload");
 reload.setPrefHeight(100d);
 reload.setMaxWidth(Double.MAX_VALUE);
 start.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>(){
 @Override
 public void handle(MouseEvent some) {
 sc.reloadServer();
 System.out.println("Reload");
 some.consume();
 }
 });

Stop button works properly! Anyway , if the other piece of code works , here it is(http://pastebin.com/4f55R2gN)

Answer 1

You typo'd your code. You set your MouseReleased handler on the start object instead of reload.

 Button reload = new Button("Reload");
 reload.setPrefHeight(100d);
 reload.setMaxWidth(Double.MAX_VALUE);
 start.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>(){

Answer 2

Try this

button.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
 @Override
 public void handle(MouseEvent arg0) {
 System.out.println("button click and mouse released");
 }
});

The below works for me fine.

public class FxmlSample extends Application{
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 launch(args);
 }
 @Override
 public void start(Stage stage) throws IOException{
 JFrame frame = new JFrame();
 JFXPanel jfxPanel = new JFXPanel();
 Pane pane = new Pane();
 VBox vBox = new VBox();
 Button button = new Button("Click me");
 button.setMinSize(50.0, 50.0);
 button.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
 @Override
 public void handle(MouseEvent arg0) {
 System.out.println("11111111111111");
 }
 });
 Button button_2 = new Button("Click me 2");
 button_2.setMinSize(50.0, 50.0);
 button_2.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
 @Override
 public void handle(MouseEvent arg0) {
 System.out.println("2222222222222");
 }
 });
 vBox.setPadding(new Insets(20));
 vBox.getChildren().addAll(button, button_2);
 pane.getChildren().addAll(vBox);
 Scene scene = new Scene(pane); 
 jfxPanel.setScene(scene);
 frame.add(jfxPanel);
 frame.setVisible(true);
 frame.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(700, 700));
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 }
}
