This project seems to be abandoned or at least dormant (last tweet from november 2019) but to anyone looking at cross platform JVM-based desktop apps check out JavaFX with OpenJFX and a recent JDK version. You can use any JVM language with it (Java 14, Kotlin, Clojure, Scala etc).
The split from JavaFX inside the JDK to OpenJFX outside of the JDK was a bit messy so a new project takes some time to setup with Maven or Gradle but aside from that it's still a nice environment to make desktop apps in.

That's not necessarily true, you can obtain many JDK distributions that still include JavaFX. For example, here's the Azul distributions with JavaFX: https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?architecture=x86-64-bit&package=jdk-fx https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?architecture=... BellSoft also has a LibericaFX distribution: https://bell-sw.com/pages/supported-configurations/ https://bell-sw.com/pages/supported-configurations/ If you want to easily install and switch between these and other standard JDKs easily from the command line, check out SDKMAN! (https://sdkman.io/ https://sdkman.io/). It supports Azul's and BellSoft's distributions with JavaFX, as well as other distributions from GraalVM, java.net, Amazon and AdoptOpenJDK.
- aalmiray 6y agoThere may be few tweets but development still continues, on the road to version 3.0.0. The source repository continues to have activity. Changes include: - support of Java's modular system (JPMS) which requires elimination of split packages, besides providing module descriptors. - take advantage of lambdas where possible.
