15.8 (Display the mouse position)
Write two programs, such that one displays the mouse position
when the mouse button is clicked (see Figure 15.26a) and the
other displays the mouse position when the mouse button is pressed
and ceases to display it when the mouse button is released.

        double height = 400;

        Text txtPosition = new Text();
        Pane pane = new Pane(txtPosition);

        pane.setOnMousePressed(e -> {
            updateMousePosition(e,txtPosition);
        });

            updateMousePosition(e,txtPosition);
        });
        pane.setOnMouseReleased(e -> txtPosition.setVisible(false));

        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(pane, width, height));
        primaryStage.setTitle("Click to see position..");
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public void updateMousePosition(MouseEvent e, Text txtPosition) {
        txtPosition.setX(e.getX() + 2);
        txtPosition.setY(e.getY() - 2);
        txtPosition.setText("(" + e.getX() + ", " + e.getY() + ")");
        txtPosition.setVisible(true);
