Very interesting read. So, nothing new on the Swing side?
- sgt 14y agoI can't tell if you are serious or not. Swing is dead, from my point of view. In any case, desktop programs isn't really a strength of Java.
- tomjen3 14y agoActually that is a case where Java really shines, as it is cross-platform
- edwinnathaniel 14y agoOracle seems to move to JavaFX. JavaFX is still at its infancy but it shows some promises: iOS + Android (soon), cross-platform installer on desktop OSes (Windows, Mac AppStore) that doesn't require JVM (JDK/JRE) to be installed first. It's ugly in terms of the UI but the infrastructure is there.
- karianna 14y agoSwing is effectively dead. Oracle will no longer invest in the technology, the preferred way forward is definitely JavaFX (2.0+), it shows a lot of promise for those who still need this type of UI tech.
