Hi Roger,
to me the patch seems Ok, go with the commit ... a minimal test application could be useful but I think that in this case we can live even without it :-) .

> There is already a "setSelectedIndex", "getSelectedIndex" and "getSelectedTab" methods.  It would be nice and orthogonal to have a "setSelectedTab" method also.
> My use case is this:  I have TabPane components identified by bxml:id in my main layout file, and references to these components in the .java code.  So, rather than relying on indexes to programmatically select a tab (which might change if I reorder the tabs), if I could just use the tab component itself (since I have a reference to it) to make the selection, then it would be more reliable.
