- 0xFFC 10y agoActually Swing is dead end in my perspective, no matter how much JetBrain tries to improve it(forget about Oracle, they don't even care about Swing), it sucks, in so many dimension. Even after investing so much money and time, they could have much better UX with other options. I had my eye in standalone version of Eclipse Che. But VSCode with Java support is actually is so great. Smooth UI with minimum latency.
- sambrady 10y agoOf course Oracle doesn't care about Swing, because there's already a replacement for it called JavaFX in active development.
- 0xFFC 10y agoDiscontinuing Scene Builder sent mixed message about Oracle seriousness about JavaFX either.
- Aldo_MX 10y agoIs Java FX a thing? I just remember seeing it advertised after the Ask toolbar during a Java Runtime install.
- iamcreasy 10y agoI've read from an ex-JavaFX developer that Oracle isn't actively developing it. Can't find the source. sorry.
- peterashford 10y agoI disagree. I really like it. It compares pretty well to most GUI libraries IMHO. Netbeans runs very nicely in Swing and it bundles the Matisse GUI builder which makes GUIs in Swing a breeze. I've also code plenty of Swing apps from first principles and found it nice to use. Obviously, I don't get all the Swing hate (and before you ask, I have used a tonne of other GUI libraries in the past)
