text.setY(30);
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(x,y,30,30);
rec.setFill(color);
stackPane.getChildren().addAll(rec,text);

Answer 1

Your code works for me but my guess is that the text is being set behind the Rectangle try putting text.toFront(); after you add them to the StackPane
In this example I put the code inside a button action so you can see how it works but you can just call the action
Runnable Example
public class Main extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Text text = new Text("rand1");
text.setFill(Color.BLACK);
text.setFont(Font.font("Calibri", FontWeight.BOLD, FontPosture.REGULAR,12));
text.setX(30);
text.setY(30);
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(10,10,30,30);
rec.setFill(Color.RED);
StackPane stackPane = new StackPane();
stackPane.getChildren().addAll(text, rec);
//Call the line below in your code
//text.toFront();
Button button = new Button("text.toFront()");
button.setOnAction(event -> text.toFront());
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(new VBox(stackPane, button)));
primaryStage.sizeToScene();
primaryStage.show();
}
}
