StandAlone GUI in Java

I was looking at the offerings of the Java platform for developing a stand alone application. However, I am stuck at making a decision for the presentation layer between Java FX and Swing? Are they being actively supported? I am open to look into any other framework as well? Please suggest.

If you are working on a new project from scratch, I would highly recommend jumping right to JavaFX, which is considered as the successor of the Swing technology.

JavaFX, henceforth, is the official GUI toolkit upon release of the 8th version of Oracle JDK, and AFAIK, the Swing package is no more under development and currently supported with bug fixes only.

In addition, JavaFX is more and more spread within Java developers and is gaining a wide support from the community; thanks to its set of advanced features:

  • Swing interoperability.
  • Canvas API.
  • Rich Text Support.
  • Built in control and support of CSS styling
  • and a lot more and more...
