Not sure if you already found the solution to your problem...but I did spot a few differences in your code:

  1. ) setmTimerText(0);, should be setTimerText(0);

2.) public String getmTimerText(), should be getTimerText()

3.) public StringProperty mTimerTextProperty(), should be timerTextProperty()

4.) public void setmTimerText(String TimerText), should be setTimerText(String TimerText)

5.) public void setmTimerText(int remainingSeconds), should be setTimerText(int remainingSeconds)

6.) setmTimerText(String.format("%02d:%02d", minutes, seconds));, should be setTimerText(String.format("%02d:%02d", minutes, seconds));

7.) setmTimerText(mCurrentAttempt.getRemainingSeconds());, should be setTimerText(mCurrentAttempt.getRemainingSeconds());

8.) <Label fx:id="time" text="${controller.mTimerText}"/>, should be <Label fx:id="time" text="${controller.timerText}"/>

It appears that when you created the "getters & setters", they added an 'm' in front of 'TimerText'. As well as adding it in a couple of other places. My best guess is it has something to do with your default settings for code generation. I would check the settings. Hope this helps ~~
