What makes you think that? There are plenty of containers that you could =
use for this:

Border
GridPane
StackPane
TablePane
TabPane
Window

You have to set an explicit preferred size *somewhere*, but that is =
generally done at the top level on Window, either via the "maximized" =
flag or via the pref. size properties.

set the preferred sizes manually.

You can do that, but as I said, it's really not the "right" way to do =
it.
