JavaFX with Gradle, Eclipse, Scene Builder and OpenJDK 11: Refactor with FXML and Scene Builder

In this final article of an introductory series on building desktop apps using JavaFX with Gradle, Eclipse, and Scene Builder I refactor the previously built random number app using FXML along with the amazing Scene Builder design tool from Gluon.
