Thanks in advance.

This is the code for simple popup window in JavaFX. Hope this helps.

public class PopupExample extends Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void start(final Stage primaryStage) {
        primaryStage.setTitle("Popup Example");
        final Popup popup = new Popup();
        popup.setX(300);
        popup.setY(200);
        popup.getContent().addAll(new Circle(25, 25, 50, Color.AQUAMARINE));

        Button show = new Button("Show");
        show.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                popup.show(primaryStage);
            }
        });

        Button hide = new Button("Hide");
        hide.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                popup.hide();
            }
        });

        HBox layout = new HBox(10);
        layout.setStyle("-fx-background-color: cornsilk; -fx-padding: 10;");
        layout.getChildren().addAll(show, hide);
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(layout));
        primaryStage.show();
    }
}

What kind of popup window do you need? Implemented with using a new Stage or Popup control? JavaFX has a control named Popup, read about it to see does it meet your needs. An entry point for Stage version could be Dialog with CLOSE button.
