How to customize the appointment panel and bean in jfxtra agenda?

Question

I want to create a custom appointment panel for a jfxtra agenda.

Exactly i want to display some specific text other than the time range already shown.

I also want to have a custom appointment bean, containing other information that can be shown in the panel.

(I really don't know where to start from )

Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Well, Agenda does not expose any display information, because it may have all kinds of different representations; the panels, or a list view, or... So you have to modify the skins. You should start at the AppointmentRegularBodyPane

The skins you are looking at are constructed pretty straight forward; there is a day pane which contains the different appointment panes, etc.
