Cannot find symbol - class Text

Does anybody know whats wrong? :(

import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader; import javafx.scene.Group; // Imported (!) import javafx.scene.Parent; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Main extends Application {

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{
    //Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("sample.fxml"));
    Group root = new Group();
    Text txt = new Text("SUP?");
    root.getChildren().add(txt);
    primaryStage.setTitle("SUP");
    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 275));
    primaryStage.show();
}


public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
}

}

// And then the error:

Error:(16, 9) java: cannot find symbol symbol: class Text location: class sample.Main
