I think that `Platform.runLater()` will be useless here cause I'm working with only main thread ?. Maybe I should work on animations, like : it will work with a timeline and will do nothing. — quartaela, Sep 13 '13 at 08:55

A solution with a Timeline:

final Stage stage = new Stage();
stage.setScene(new Scene(new Label("Hello")));
stage.show();
Timeline timeline = new Timeline();
timeline.getKeyFrames().add(new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(10),
    new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

        @Override
        public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
            stage.hide();
        }
    }));
timeline.play();
