In Business!

Let's just say I now know why color
pickers often sepatate red, blue and green inputs:
just had a brutal morning with parsers, scanners,
loops and converters...

The app works with the simplest code, but
at this point, is laboriously repetitive. I need
to move all the styling stuff to a CSS file, and learn
how to setAll() in one swoop. I should also
worry about the spacing of the app: everything is
right up against the edges. VBox layout just
creates a vertical column of components.
That's what I've got at the moment.

To get serious about things, I would need a try/catch
on userinput, as well.

Been reading up on jar files. It is a Java Archive file,
with compression somewhat like that of a zip file, but
particular to Java. There are two versions, one with just the
relevant files to the project, the other with a manifest linking
to the main method so that the app will start on double-click.
To do!!

Made a jar file that runs from the command line!!
