  public void start(Stage stage) {
    Scene scene = new Scene(new Group(), 450, 250);
    TextField notification = new TextField();

    final ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
    contextMenu.setOnShowing(new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() {

        System.out.println("showing");
      }
    });
    contextMenu.setOnShown(new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() {

    MenuItem item1 = new MenuItem("About");
    item1.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      public void handle(ActionEvent e) {

    contextMenu.getItems().addAll(item1, item2);

    notification.setContextMenu(contextMenu);
    GridPane grid = new GridPane();
    grid.setVgap(4);
    grid.setHgap(10);
