Answer to How to use the event handler onEditCommit and onEditCancel on JavaFX 2 ?

if you add

if(simpleList.getSelectionModel().getSelectedIndices().contains(simpleList.getItems().size()-1))
                                    simpleList.getItems().add("new list item");

in the edit listener it will make a dynamically growing list view!

How would you do this for a Listview of custom objects?
