I tried to use swing a year or so ago. It wasn’t a great time. I’d probably go with JavaFX or compose multi platform if I did it again.


Well sure it takes a bit of time and study to learn it but it's a totally viable cross-platform UI toolkit.


Oh I agree it’s viable! It just wasn’t pleasurable to work in. I’m looking forward to trying JavaFX when the time comes :)


I hope you tried it with the NetBeans visual designer. That is basically Java's Visual Studio.

FX is not flushed out. Though it does have some data binding, which is all manual in Swing.
