in JavaFX 2.2 I want to use a split pane (or better: any component with two dividers) where the dividers can be collapsed / expanded again. Is there any Component which does this already for me (and I just don't get it) or do I have to implement this myself? Would you recommend to use Swing here?

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: Maybe for a better imagination of my problem, the following information is neccessary: I want to split my contents vertically. 

content | content | content

(where '|' are the dividers).

JavaFX has a SplitPane to do this.

The pane does not include a button for collapsing and expanding the divider. Either you need to program such a button yourself or the user can just manually drag the pane dividers.

I would not recommend using Swing for this unless you have other important reasons to use Swing.
