In JavaFX it's really simple to create a borderless application with transparent background color.

In the first step the background color from the Scene needs to set to transparent.

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    ...
    final Scene scene = new Scene(view.getView(), 330.0d, 330.0d);
    scene.setFill(Color.TRANSPARENT);
    ...
}

In the second step the style from the Stage need to be adjusted.

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    ...
    // Defines a normal Stage style with a solid white background and platform decorations.
    stage.initStyle(StageStyle.DECORATED);

    // Defines a Stage style with a solid white background and no decorations.
    stage.initStyle(StageStyle.UNDECORATED);

    // Defines a Stage style with a transparent background and no decorations.
    stage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
    ...
}
