For the purposes of this chapter, you should just be using one of the Run options and not worrying about Debug. Now let’s add some text to this Scene. Adding Some Text Anything you want to display to the screen in JavaFX, for these examples, needs to be placed in the content of your Scene. The Scene node is used to hold and display other nodes. Therefore, to display a Text node (for this chapter’s example), you will need to write the Text node to the Scene’s content.
