You can use single quotes inside the attribute value, but this code wouldn't
work anyways - it is written in Java, and the default language in BXML is
JavaScript.

It's really up to you. I generally tend to wire up simple event handlers in
BXML and more complex handlers in Java.

Yes. BXML is just a shortcut to hand-coding your UI construction in Java, so
you can mix and match freely.
However, you can't add elements directly to a window via Window#add(). You'll
add them to your window's content. For example:
BoxPane content = new BoxPane();
content.add(new Label("Foo"));
content.add(new Label("Bar"));
window.setContent(content);
or:
<Window>
<!-- content tag is optional since it is Window's default property -->
<content>
<BoxPane bxml:id="content"/>
</content>
</Window>
content.add(new Label("Foo"));
content.add(new Label("Bar"));
where the calls to content.add() take place in the initialize() method.
