contextMenuHandler	back to summary
private static final EventHandler<ContextMenuEvent> contextMenuHandler Handles context menu requests by popping up the menu. Note that we use this pattern to remove some of the anonymous inner classes which we'd otherwise have to create. When lambda expressions are supported, we could do it that way instead (or use MethodHandles).

private String currentSkinClassName Keeps a reference to the name of the class currently acting as the skin.

skin	back to summary
private ObjectProperty<Skin<?>> skin

skinBase	back to summary
private SkinBase<?> skinBase A private reference directly to the SkinBase instance that is used as the Skin for this Control. A Control's Skin doesn't have to be of type SkinBase, although 98% of the time or greater it probably will be. Because instanceof checks and reading a value from a property are not cheap (on interpreters on slower hardware or mobile devices) it pays to have a direct reference here to the skinBase. We simply need to check this variable -- if it is not null then we know the Skin is a SkinBase and this is a direct reference to it. If it is null then we know the skin is not a SkinBase and we need to call getSkin().
