JavaFX evenly split children

Question

How can I acheive an evenly split UI, as the Player boxes demonstrate in the following example:

I would model it as an HBox with 2 evenly sized VBoxes, but I can't get them to stretch to the same size in the HBox.

Answer 1

Stretching VBoxes as two halves of single HBox works for me with HBox.hgrow="ALWAYS" property set for both VBoxes:

<HBox>
  <VBox HBox.hgrow="ALWAYS">
    ...
  </VBox>
  <VBox HBox.hgrow="ALWAYS">
    ...
  </VBox>
</HBox>
