How to create and show common dialog (Error, Warning, Confirmation) in JavaFX 2.0?

Recently released JDK 1.8.0_40 added support for JavaFX dialogs, alerts, etc. For example, to show a confirmation dialog, one would use the Alert class:

Alert alert = new Alert(AlertType.CONFIRMATION, "Delete " + selection + " ?", ButtonType.YES, ButtonType.NO, ButtonType.CANCEL);
alert.showAndWait();

    //do stuff
}
