The confirmation window is going to be a useful component in many other scenarios, such as confirmation before removing, saving, and showing information messages.

How to do it...

Create a new class Decision that will implement two methods for possible decisions (we will simplify it to yes and no decisions).
```
public class Decision {

  public void yes(Button.ClickEvent event) {
  }
  public void no(Button.ClickEvent event) {
  }
}
```
Create a new class that represents the confirmation window. There will be two buttons to handle yes and no actions. Then we add click listeners to the buttons, so we can forward the click action to the instance...
