在javafx中布局复选框的最佳方法是什么？

Question

I am trying to achieve this design using css and javafx and so far i think im on the right track, but where i am stuck at is the check boxes.I cant seem to get them to layout correctly and functioning the way i want them to. I put 4 check Boxes in each of the two vboxs and put them both in the same cell to be able fit in one border that i set in the style sheet,but when i do this only the second column of check boxes work. I have tried other options such as using a second gridPane and laying out the check boxes in there then putting the second gridPane in the gridPane that i set for the scene, but that wouldn't even run so my question is what is the best way to layout my check boxes so they look like this and are functioning properly? Here is what i have so far

 import javafx.scene.*;
 import javafx.stage.*;
 import javafx.geometry.*;
 import javafx.application.*;
 import javafx.scene.control.*;
 import javafx.scene.layout.*;
 import javafx.collections.*;
 import javafx.event.*;
 import javafx.scene.text.TextAlignment;

You don't initialize peClassesGridPane . Just add in the line

peClassesGridPane = new GridPane();

before you use it. Additionally, remove the redundant peVBox1 and peVBox2 from the code entirely.
