javafx 2 - Adding space between buttons in VBox

Question

I have a collection of buttons:

VBox menuButtons = new VBox();
menuButtons.getChildren().addAll(addButton, editButton, exitButton);

I want to add some spacing between these buttons, without using a CSS style sheet. I think there should be a way to do this.

setPadding(); is for the Buttons in the VBox.
setMargin(); should be for the VBox itself. But I didn't find a way for the spacing between the buttons.

I'm glad for any ideas. :)

Answer 1

VBox supports spacing:

VBox menuButtons = new VBox(5);

or

menuButtons.setSpacing(5);
