Why " Label label = new Label("Name:"); " doesn't work?

Hello,

I was wondering why when I type the line of code to create a new Label in my JavaFx project it doesn't work and gives the error message of " Label() cannot be applied to '(java.lang.String)' "

Label label = new Label("Name:");

After some quick trials, I figured that this works instead,
javafx.scene.control.Label label = new javafx.scene.control.Label("Name:");

As a newbie, I'm clueless why? Is there something wrong with my Intellij' settings?
